Coccinella, alternative Linux à Google Talk (GTalk)
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Coccinella is a functional but dated replacement for Google Talk if you are willing to switch from Google’s proprietary ecosystem to the open XMPP standard. It covers the core needs of text messaging, presence, and file transfer, but it lacks native VoIP calling, which was a key part of GTalk. Since the project is discontinued, you should expect no security updates or bug fixes. It is suitable for users who prioritize open protocols and privacy over modern features like video calls or integration with current Google services, but it is not a drop-in replacement for those relying on Google’s current infrastructure.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Google Talk (GTalk)
There is no direct file format compatibility between Google Talk and Coccinella. Google Talk did not use a widely supported export format for chat logs that Coccinella can natively read. You would need to manually export any critical chat history from your previous client (if still accessible) into a text format and then import or reference it separately, as Coccinella manages its own local logs. Contact lists cannot be directly imported from Google’s system without converting them to an XMPP-compatible format first.
