Hi
can you install tox chat on trisquel ? and is it totally free source?
Thank you
Hi there!
It certainly seems free software. It might require newer libraries than currently available in the repositories of Trisquel. Try first installing the core [1] and if successful then say the uTox client [2].

Tox is free software. I avoided it for a long time becuase alpha. I installed and tried quite recently utox and it works very good.
>do you think tox will be added to trisquel repositories soon
No. Alpha software is too unstable, too prone to bugs and security issues to be included in the repository of any decent GNU distro AFAIK.
Give it 2 or 3 years. Trisquel 9 will have it probably.
Do you know any similar p2p encrypted chat option that is available on trisquel repository?
Thank you

Well, if it is only text you need, that is chat, not VOIP, not audio or video, but only chat, then what I recommend and think is the most powerful option is ricochet. It is not in the repo, but you can very easily download it, download the developers gpg signing key, verify your download and then just run the executable. The application is nice, extremely easy to use, works excellently, it is multi-platform (no android support though), audited (secure), of course free software, encrypted by default, p2p over Tor network. It's the only application of its kind that takes care even of the metadata. It is not only encrypted but also completely anonymous AFAIK and understand. In one word: amazing.
My ID in case you want to try it:
