Windows 10: telegram, messenger, skype

[gjacobse]

Is there a stable application that will run these clients?

[travisdh1]

As in a single program? Not that I know of.

Skype for Linux on my Fedora28 workstation has been as stable as Skype ever gets. The local app hasn't crashed at least.

Facebook messenger, bah.

Telegram I only use every once in a while, so don't know about it.

I know Skype is proprietary now, so I doubt you'll find a single client program that handles all of them, sorry man.

[scottalanmiller]

Not aware of any.

Not exactly an all-in-one solution but you access their web-based version from a browser.

Skype for Web (Beta)
https://web.skype.com

Messenger Web
https://www.messenger.com/

Telegram Web
https://web.telegram.org/

I've started using my browser to access a lot of web-based apps lately with great success.

@StorageNinja uses Franz. No idea how well it works.

If you're on some Linux with GNOME 3 I believe empathy does all of them.

So far Telegram, Skype, and messenger work. When setting up messenger, I get a review recent login prompt and it shows Chrome for Linux. Does that mean Franz is built off of Chrome?

I think it's an electron app So it's chrome under the hood.

That makes sense now. Because I only see this message, when using Skype from a browser.
