Well,
all in all that is kind of personal. I HAVE to be on Skype for business
reasons and it is apparently the most used even on Linux despite not
being very actively maintained or open source.And I use it mainly for
chat, not calls or video.
Then you have GTalk/Hangouts or Jabber, both supported via
Kopete/KTelepathy/Pidgin and Jitsi. There is still Yahoo messenger and
ICQ, both again supported by above mentioned clients.
if you want to combine phone/computer then it is either Hangouts
(Google), Skype or Viber. Or Whatsapp, but you then have to go via a
browser on the computer which is, where I live, a bit "clumsy" and slow
cheers,
Sinclair
