Gajim on Ubuntu and Linux

Gajim is a software that many people use to chat in real time. It is available for download on the official website. Gajim's software is not fully compatible with Ubuntu and Linux as it requires additional packages to work properly. The package manager on these operating systems does not allow users to install such packages, unless they are using a computer with a clean operating system. However, there is an unofficial repository where Gajim can be installed through a .deb package file.
