From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me: totally. I need to use windows for work. With WSL, I can use all the tools I need via the Debian box underneath. All I use windows for are the communication apps my colleagues use.
Apart from work: nope. Full time Linux kinda guy
Glad to know teams isn't just the bane of my existence on linux
Teams and outlook have both pretty good third party flatpaks.
From what I gather teams-for-linux still uses the web version doesn't it? Would that not be subject to all the same problems?
From what I hear the only thing that doesn't work is reaction emojis in meetings.
Might give it another go then, the problem for me is not that it doesn't work, but that it doesn't work reliably though
Have been using it as a PWA and half the time it forgets I gave it mic permissions or resets my audio settings/doesn't even recognise my mic in the first place
I use flatpak edge and install teams as a pwa works like a charm.
Edge I haven't tried yet. Have been trying to use degoogled chromium where I can but that's a battle I might have to give up on in this case
Yeah, I hear you. I do this only for work.
Did you know teams personal exists and they've added features to it for gaming? Why anyone would voluntarily use teams I will never understand
LOL I never heard about it. They are like wanting to compete with discord?
I guess so, have never heard of anyone actually using it but it's built into windows so someone probably will at some point
