Telegram
Telegram is a real-time chat program, similar to instant messages and IRC. Telegram offers a mobile, desktop and web client. You can install the Telegram desktop client using the KDE Discover Software Store or using the command line, which differs based on which GNU/Linux distribution you're using:
- Arch/Antergos/Manjaro:
sudo pacman -S telegram-desktop - Debian/Ubuntu/Kubuntu/KDE Neon:
sudo apt install telegram-desktop - Fedora:
sudo dnf install telegram-desktop - Gentoo:
sudo emerge telegram-desktop-bin - openSUSE:
sudo zypper install telegram-desktop - Flatpak:
flatpak install flathub org.telegram.desktop
An active directory of KDE-related Telegram channels is maintained on Telegram at https://t.me/kdechannels. Contact https://t.me/kdechat to add entries to the listing. None of these are officially KDE channels, as KDE does not officially use proprietary communication mediums. Instead, check out KDE Matrix at https://webchat.kde.org or KDE's presence on Freenode (IRC).
Note that a lot of Telegram channels have IRC or Matrix rooms that are bridged to, especially if ran by KDE developers. These channels will typically note so in their descriptions.
