A few years ago pidgin worked fine, but now I can't find one IM client that connects on Facebook.
Is there a Facebook IM client for Mint (or Ubuntu)?
ubuntu;linux mint;pidgin;facebook
You can use any XMPP client AFAIK(Facebook IM is XMPP based).There is also an option of using non offical facebook messenger desktop version.http://messengerfordesktop.com/Can also try: Empathy, Kopete or Emesene.EDIT: Pidgin works fine with facebook, make sure you have package: purple-facebook
