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.

Weechat. Terminal based, flexible scripting system using a handful of languages, still actively developed, and I can make it work the way I want it to work.
Seconded. Weechat and Gomuks for matrix chat.
Some easy display rules, and a couple of plugins and it's perfect.
Sounds too much like WeChat
If you're going to not use software because you don't like a program with a similar name, I really don't know what to tell you... 🤷♂️
Would you run a distro called Windoze?
I don't care what it's called as long as it's a decent distro and does what I need it to do.
