No-one runs Linux on Apple laptops these days; it's completely impractical. On OS X, Zoom will obviously recompile their app for the new architecture.

I am – right now even – but I agree it's become impractical.

This announcement is the final nail in the coffin I suppose. I hope some company will come out with great quality, well-designed, minimal laptops. That run Linux perfectly.

If it ran Linux perfectly, it could only do so if the manufacturer maintained its own Linux distribution. Laptop hardware and power management is just too complicated these days for anything else to work well.

All the Linux users I know prefer to use Zoom in the browser.
