I have been using the new Skype For Linux app since their first alpha release and never experienced any of those problems. It lacks features but was never unstable for me.

Same here, until the recent weeks. Suddenly it started having issues where messages don't show up until I restart the client, while they show up fine on my mobile.

It's certainly a business move to make Linux experience worse, I doubt MS can't put some dedicated engineers and have a proper app.

Considering the Android app was just updated and it looks terrible, I don't think there's a conspiracy theory against Linux.
