I am using #xmpp since the time of windows xp and #pidgin. It is sad to see how the ecosystem moved. On Linux the only client available is gajim (there is no realistic way to install dino on Linux Mint). I appreciate the work people do to make those clients but.. it has so much problems. Now it constantly crashes so my xmpp communication is almost gone. Or lets say, my xmpp usage is tied to my smartphone with "conversations" as client.
That sounds really bad.
I'm not using mint and don't have any of the issues. I wonder what's the difference, that gajim can be so unstable for you.
I don't know if that would be something you would like to run, but Dino comes as flatpack too, if the Ubuntu versions doesn't work for you.
Maybe that could for out.

@menel I would really like to run Dino but the flatpak does not run under Linux Mint. I tried it on 6 completely different machines, it alway does not start. I also spend a lot of time to try to find a solution without success.
Is dino working for you? If yes, which distribution do you use?
@menel I upgraded to #LinuxMint 22.1, and Dino #flatpak to 0.5.0. Now #Dino works again!
@ulfi There are several clients available in the official ArchLinux repository (not AUR):
@ulfi I’ve switched to profanity, a console based client. Took some time to get used to but it has /all/ the features and on Linux even some decent desktop integration.
@ulfi also movim is browser based and works just fine in case.
@ulfi
Perhaps another option for you is trying webclients like #conversejs or #movim
You just need a browser to use them.
Give them a try.
Both also can support #OMEMO
Hi, I tried both. I tried conversejs several years ago. For me it was unstable with groups. I don't remember exactly the details.
This year I tried movim. First it crashed because it seems to have found a memory lack in firefox, see screenshot below :D
Some days ago I tried movim again. Firefox did not crash but it did not correctly fetch messages from mam so the chathistory differed from to other clients in 1:1 chats without omemo (at the moment it works).
