Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hexchat and pidgin. What to do now when they are not supported on wayland?
Quassel nowadays, because I'm on my phone more often than my laptop. Back when I say at a keyboard more, it was irssi, no contest
I run Circe in Emacs because it's lightweight and integrates with the modeline for not overly distracting notifications.
For Windows I like 0irc. It's extremely lightweight and portable. For a browser alternative, KiwilIRC works in a pinch.
It’s old, but removedx.
can't find any client by that name
imagine a pejorative term for women with the letter "x" appended to it
the client hasn't been updated in a long time, perhaps someone needs to fork it.

Element, not only is Matrix the future but it handles bridging to irc well
