FYI, I am running Arch on a Macbook Air 2011 and it handles Teams OK ;-)

This. People seem to think their hardware somehow slows down, when in reality their shitty OS just got more bloatet.

Find that hard to believe too.

My laptop since 2017 has been a Dell Precision 5510, (Xeon 1505v6, 32G) running Arch and honestly it's not smooth in the slightest.

Granted, last time I used Teams was 2 years ago, maybe it improved a lot, but the UI lags so hard that it almost bugs out, along with pegging and entire CPU core, sometimes when the program has been on a call but is no longer... Teams should be sitting idle.
