To winnow it down to a reasonable herd of clients, I decided to rule out a couple of clients that are undeniably awesome but not well-suited to many users. Linux users can choose from more IRC clients than you can shake a stick at, dozens of clients depending on how expansive your definition is. Then you’ve got the power users: folks who spend enormous chunks of time in IRC as part of their job and/or because they’re part of a community that does most of its work in chat. The casual users are people who dip into IRC on occasion to participate in a conversation or IRC meeting, but don’t live in IRC. IRC users tend to fall into two camps: casual users and power users. Now, I know how attached some folks are to their IRC clients. If you’re ready to start jumping into IRC, but not sure which client to start with, we’ve got five great clients to choose from. ![]() ![]() ![]() IRC is a vital part of participating in the Linux community, but choosing an IRC client can be a daunting task for new Linux users.
