      Is there a stable application that will run these clients?

        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.

            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.
