XChat, alternative Linux à mIRC
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
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.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil
- 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
Ce qui change
- 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- XChat is discontinued and no longer actively maintained, mIRC is still updated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

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.

- 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.
