XChat como alternativa Linux a mIRC
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
XChat can replace mIRC for users who need a lightweight, scriptable IRC client on Linux. It supports multi‑server connections, DCC, scripting (Perl), channel handling, and a customizable tabbed interface. It is best suited for casual or intermediate users who are comfortable with Perl scripts and a more minimal UI. Advanced mIRC users who rely heavily on the proprietary mIRC scripting language, complex alias chains, or specific Windows‑only plugins may find XChat lacking.

Lo que funciona igual
- Both support multi‑server connections and channel management
- Both have DCC chat and file transfer
- Both allow scripting (Perl in XChat, mIRC’s own language)
- Both provide configurable interface themes
- Both support basic IRCv3 extensions
Lo que cambia
- XChat uses Perl scripts, mIRC uses its own language – scripts are not directly portable
- XChat is discontinued and no longer actively maintained, mIRC is still updated
- XChat lacks some of mIRC’s advanced alias syntax and built‑in macro editor
- XChat does not support the same level of Windows‑specific plugins or extensions
- XChat’s UI is simpler, lacking some of mIRC’s advanced window management features
Abrir tus archivos de mIRC
Opening mIRC configuration files (.cfg) directly in XChat is not supported. You would need to manually re‑create settings or use a script to translate common options. Exporting from XChat to mIRC format is also unsupported; users must re‑configure manually.
Pasar de mIRC a XChat, paso a paso
- Export your mIRC aliases and scripts to plain text files (if possible).
- Install XChat from your distribution’s package manager or compile from source.
- Create a new XChat profile and manually configure servers, channels, and DCC settings.
- Import your Perl scripts into XChat’s script directory and adjust syntax to match XChat’s API.
- Set up themes and interface options via the Preferences dialog.
- Test each server connection and DCC transfer to ensure functionality.
