When using linux, everything is "more seamless" than Zoom. This company hates linux users, everything is broken and requires root user to even start.

Zoom on linux isn't too bad. Unlike other companies, they provide a linux client. It has all the essential features in it (I haven't spotted anything missing). In addition, it doesn't depend on some ancient java stack. Yes, you have to install the package as root, but I don't see a lot of hate from zoom.

That is odd, one of the reasons I really like zoom is how well it works under Linux. It seems to "just work", and the Linux client doesn't feel like an after-thought. FWIW, running Fedora 31 with KDE/Plasma. I really like not having a browser-based video conferencing app, but a Linux native one.

It’s been working great for me for the last year and a half or so on my stock Dell XPS 15 with Ubuntu.

Zoom works fine for me on KDE neon. No issues at all when running as a normal user.

Hmm, I see. I'm not a Linux user but I'll try to see it!
