And what was the state of Linux when proprietary instant messaging apps were popular?

    Wizz and the general sounds of MSN were fun, but maybe it’s just because I was younger.

    For Linux, Pidgin was solid.

      Everyone’s saying this like Pidgin was Linux only but I used it for years on Windows.

        On Windows, there was Trillian!

          I used trillian but switched to pidgin on windows back in the day. Trillian wasn’t the only option on windows.

          I used Trillian for a few years before going to Pidgin because it was much lighter on my system, both were on Windows.
