From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[SOLUTION] all hail hexchat, hexchat is dead, remove unmaintained hexchat

this happens on debian 13.1 xfce

after installing io.github.Hexchat I get this message on the terminal:

Info: runtime org.freedesktop.Platform branch 23.08 is end-of-life, with reason: org.freedesktop.Platform 23.08 is no longer receiving fixes and security updates. Please update to a supported runtime version. Info: applications using this runtime: io.github.Hexchat

the message applies to the following runtimes as well:

org.freedesktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel branch 23.08

org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default branch 23.08-extra

org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default

if I remove them manually and I update flatpak, it asks me to install them again

My computer uses both system and user remotes.

Because my .var directory is almost full, I installed hexchat as user, but the drivers are systemwide. I don't know if this is relevant.

Yes, the repository has been archived. https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat

What's the gui-based irc client people are using now instead?

[–] ben@lef.li 3 points 3 weeks ago

Personally I still use Hexchat since it is still supported by my distribution for several years. It won't receive new features but security fixes only which I'm fine with.
