Just like here, but for linux. Put one client per answer votes can be meaningful.

As mentioned in the other thread, Tweetdeck is an Adobe Air app, so should run fine on Linux.

I've been doing this search myself, and feel compelled to add: Adobe AIR on Linux is a bit of a joke. It is a security nightmare (run user apps as root? why?), and getting it to run on 64-bit requires more-or-less trashing your distro. Whether it's better than nothing is a matter of opinion, though :P – detly Sep 5 '10 at 11:46

You should take a look at Gwibber. It supports other services besides Twitter too. And if you use Ubuntu to can add its PPA for easy installation.

I've settled on Seesmic Desktop for the time being, despite it being an Adobe Air app (however I also had the constraint that I wanted it to also handle Facebook). Definitely prefer it to Tweekdeck.

I also use AllTray to minimise it to the system tray, as it has a funny quirk that if you close the main window, it minimises to the system tray, but then doesn't get new updates (making the program effectively be not running).

This is, of course until I write my own app... :-)

I'm using Twhirl at my Ubuntu at home and WXP at work. It's an AIR app, so it just works. You install Air, then download the .air, installs it, and you are ready to go.

Cool style, different color sets, and its just one-bar-wide, so it fits nice in my desktop without eating so much space.
