QUASSELCLIENT(1)

💖 QUASSELCLIENT 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for QUASSELCLIENT(1) — the client-only GUI of the Quassel IRC client. come sit with me, we're gonna go through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

quasselclient — GUI of the Quassel IRC client, client only 🌈

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

quasselclient [OPTION]...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client. what does "distributed" mean, you ask? it means one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central core — literally the same energy as that iconic combo of screen plus a text-based IRC client like WeeChat, except... graphical 💅

quasselclient connects to and manages a running quasselcore, and bestie, it will not work on its own. periodt. it needs the core.

want a standalone IRC client experience instead? go use the quassel monolithic program 🌸
