  QQ for Linux has not been supported for very very long time. I found a workaround by using android version of QQ in emulator, so you can check out this : askubuntu.com/a/540894/295286 As for wechat, wx.qq.com is appropriate solution. It requires you to scan Qr code with your phone. I know this is not the best, but wechat doesn't provide anything better, even for Windows

  This is just the equivalent of visiting web.wechat.com. In particular, it doesn't support key features the Windows desktop app offers, such as video calling. (As far as I can tell there's no better solution than installing the windows desktop client with wine)

One way is to install WeChat is a third-party WeChat client for Linux called electronic-wechat.

1. Go to https://github.com/geeeeeeeeek/electronic-wechat/releases
   


2. Download the file for your architecture, either linux-ia32.tar.gz or linux-x64.tar.gz
   


3. Extract the file with tar xvf linux-ia32.tar.gz or tar xvf linux-x64.tar.gz
   


4. Go to the directory with the extracted file and run ./electronic-wechat

QQ

I'd like to suggest Wine QQ.

First download it from ubuntukylin(it's a modified version of Ubuntu by Chinese) and extract the files.

Cd into the folder, and install all the debs using following commands:

sudo dpkg –i DEB_PACKAGE

For those who encounter dependencies unmet:

sudo apt-get -f install ./wine-qqintl_0.1.3-2_i386.deb

1. I found this

Deepin-Apps-Installation

This repo shows how to install apps packaged with deepin-wine by Deepin on Ubuntu based linux distributions, like Wechat, QQ, TIM, Thunder Speed etc.

2. 
   

   Maybe you don't need to install the software, since they both have web-based versions:

   
   
   
   • WeChat
   
   
   • QQ

  Nothing I've heard so far. Maybe a temporary solution is to use Windows WeChat with Wine. I will try that later...

QQ

I'd like to suggest Wine QQ.

First download it from ubuntukylin(it's a modified version of Ubuntu by Chinese) and extract the files.

Cd into the folder, and install all the debs using following commands:

sudo dpkg –i DEB_PACKAGE

For those who encounter dependencies unmet:

sudo apt-get -f install ./wine-qqintl_0.1.3-2_i386.deb

1. I found this

Deepin-Apps-Installation

This repo shows how to install apps packaged with deepin-wine by Deepin on Ubuntu based linux distributions, like Wechat, QQ, TIM, Thunder Speed etc.

2. 
   

   Maybe you don't need to install the software, since they both have web-based versions:

   
   
   
   • WeChat
   
   
   • QQ
