Konversation als Linux-Alternative zu mIRC

Aktualisiert am 18. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

Konversation can serve as a solid replacement for mIRC for users who want a native Linux IRC client that covers most everyday IRC tasks. It handles multiple servers, channels, DCC file transfer, and scripting via its alias system, though its scripting language is simpler than mIRC’s. It is best suited for users who prefer a KDE‑style interface and don’t rely on advanced mIRC scripts or plugins. For power users who depend on complex mIRC scripts, Konversation may feel limited, but for general chat and file transfer it works well.

Was gleich funktioniert

Both support multiple servers and channels in a single window
Both provide DCC file transfer
Both allow per‑channel text decorations and themes
Both support SSL for secure connections
Both have configurable user lists and topic handling

Was anders ist

Konversation’s scripting is limited to aliases and simple macros, lacking mIRC’s full scripting engine and plugin ecosystem
mIRC offers extensive plug‑in support and a large community of scripts; Konversation does not
Konversation does not support the same level of advanced channel management commands (e.g., channel modes) that mIRC users often employ
mIRC has a long history of custom key bindings and macros that are not directly transferable to Konversation
Konversation’s UI is KDE‑centric; users on non‑KDE desktops may prefer a more generic look

Ihre mIRC-Dateien öffnen

Konversation does not natively import mIRC script files (.mrc) or configuration files. Users will need to manually recreate scripts and settings. For DCC transfers, mIRC’s log files can be opened as plain text, but there is no direct export/import feature between the two clients.

Von mIRC zu Konversation wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

Export your mIRC settings by copying the .mrc script file and any custom aliases to a safe location
Open Konversation and go to Settings → Configure Konversation → Scripts to create new aliases that mimic your mIRC macros
Add your preferred IRC networks under Settings → Configure Konversation → Networks, then create nicknames for each server
Use the DCC settings in Konversation (Settings → Configure Konversation → DCC) to set download directories and enable file transfer
Import any custom themes or color schemes by copying the relevant files into Konversation’s theme directory
Test the connection to each server and verify that channel lists, user lists, and notifications work as expected

Häufige Fragen

Can I use my old mIRC scripts in Konversation?

Konversation’s scripting system is different; you’ll need to rewrite scripts as aliases or use the built‑in macro system. There is no direct import of .mrc files.

Does Konversation support plugins like mIRC?

No, Konversation does not have a plugin framework. It relies on its own alias and macro system for extensibility.

Will Konversation work on non‑KDE desktops?

Yes. Konversation is a standalone KDE application but can run on any desktop environment that supports Qt and the required libraries.
