https://www.rizon.net/chat channel: 4chan
Get in here faggot.

Good servers:
irc.rizon.net (go to #4chan )
chat.freenode.net (have all sorts of computer and science related channels like ##linux, #bash, #ubuntu, ##math)
Good client for linux: Weechat
If you have never used IRC before then you need to read the user guide. To do stuff like setting up the servers, connecting to them, registering your nick (many places like #4chan won't let you speak unless you are registered), and joining channels with /join #channel.
You can get all sorts of help by the developers at #weechat, they answer quite fast there I have noticed. And give good tips. You should go to #weechat on freenode and just ask how to "set up" the client. And you will get good advice.
For windows, I don't know. Haven't used IRC on windows since the 90's when i used mIRC.

Why is it better than irssi?
>>52176078
Whats so hard about IRC.I am a nigger and even I figured it out the moment I installed an IRC client.
>>52176323
I don't know IRSSI, just know weechat and it's good. Irssi might be better for you, but I don't know if they have as good support and so on. they look pretty similar. You of course can also set up autojoin function on the servers so you automatically join. And after registering you need to "identify yourself by writing.
/msg NICKSERV identify <then your password>
That can also be automatically done... A little time to set up and then you're golden.
Last time I was using irc 10 years ago but as far as I remember if you do not use any kind of vpn or vps other people can see you ip
