Pidgin como alternativa Linux ao Google Talk (GTalk)
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
Pidgin is a solid replacement for Google Talk for users who need basic XMPP chat, presence, and occasional file transfers. It works well on Linux, supports multiple accounts, and can handle the core GTalk features without the Google‑specific UI. It’s best for people comfortable with a generic client and who don’t rely on Google’s integrated voice calls or Hangouts‑style video. If you only used GTalk for text chat and simple file sharing, Pidgin will feel familiar; if you need tight integration with other Google services, you’ll miss some convenience.

- Voice call quality depends on server and plugin support
Abrindo seus arquivos do Google Talk (GTalk)
Google Talk stored chat logs in a proprietary XML format that is not directly readable by Pidgin. There is no official exporter, so you would need to locate the old GTalk log files and manually convert them, for example by using a script to transform the XML into Pidgin’s plain‑text log format. If you have no logs, this step can be skipped.
Trocando o Google Talk (GTalk) pelo Pidgin, passo a passo
- Install Pidgin from your distribution’s repository or via Flathub.
- Add a new account in Pidgin, select XMPP/Jabber, and enter your full Google email address and password (or app‑specific password if 2FA is enabled).
- Enable the "Google Talk" plugin if offered, or ensure the libpurple XMPP plugin is active.
- Import any existing chat logs manually if you have them, placing them in ~/.purple/logs.
- Test sending a message and, if needed, install the "Jingle" plugin for voice calls.
- Configure buddy groups and preferences to match your old GTalk setup.

Can Pidgin make voice calls to Google Talk contacts?
Only if the XMPP server supports Jingle and you have the appropriate plugin; otherwise voice calls are not available.
Do I need a Google account to use Pidgin?
Yes, you still log in with your Google email, but you must use the XMPP settings manually; there is no single‑click Google sign‑in.
Will my contact list sync automatically?
Pidgin pulls the roster from the XMPP server, so contacts appear, but any Google‑specific groups or labels are not transferred.
