I see. As throwing Pidgin out b/c of Matrix, Telegram etc. would also apply to Hexchat and as we (currently) have no disk space shortage to keep an eye on so I'd vote for keeping them both.
IMHO duplication is a bad thing. There's no reason to have 2 different apps that do the same thing in the standard install of any OS. (Reluctantly I'll exclude low-level command-line apps like, say, vi + nano.) Any IRC client offers a subset of the functionality of Pidgin, which is a perfectly good IRC client and has been my go-to one since I stopped using Win 9x. So if the base install should include a chat client, which I would say it should, then Pidgin is the most capable chat client in the openSUSE repos, AFAIK. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
