How's the groupware situation on Linux? Mail, calendars, adding shared meeting rooms, etc.

On Linux you can use a number of thick or web clients for any sort of groupware - Exchange, Office 365, OnlyOffice, Nextcloud, Collabora, Zoho something?

I used Evolution for years, and it worked really well.

Anymore I just keep Outlook web open in a web browser though. Not because Evolution is lacking, I just didn't really see the point in setting it up anymore.

KMail, Kalendar, Thunderbird, Nextcloud Groupware are all open source groupware solution what works on Linux.

KMail was actually financed for some time by the german gouvernment.
