Kopete como alternativa Linux ao Windows Live Messenger (MSN)
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
Kopete can replace Windows Live Messenger for users who need a KDE‑centric, multi‑protocol chat client. It supports the same core functions—text chat, group rooms, file transfer, status, and desktop notifications—across many networks, including MSN’s legacy protocol. However, it is no longer maintained and lacks the tight integration with Windows services that some users relied on. It works best for KDE users who are comfortable with a Linux environment and can tolerate the absence of official support for the old MSN protocol.
