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

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

        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.
