What's the issue with zoom? I think it's one of the best software I have on my machine. It never ever stopped working since I have it installed, not even in meetings/webinars with 1000+ people. And the integration with Slack is really convenient, you can start a meeting in seconds anywhere you are.

I used to use it constantly on Linux Mint, fwiw.
I switched to Mac only because I couldn't get parts for a new desktop at the time. I missed Linux, though :/

Neat, so at least for some people it works.

99% of the time: Mac.
From time to time: iPhone, iPad, android phone, android tablets, windows.
I hear from colleagues having Linux that the OS might indeed be an issue sometimes, they have to restart the system, etc.

Meet does not require a desktop client to work reliably (it does, however, require a Chromium browser).
Zoom really tries to bury the browser link. First it says the meeting has launched, which it won't have if you don't have the client installed, then it tries to prompt you to download the desktop client, and only then does it reveal the web join link.
Our security team has banned the installation of Zoom after some of their issues in 2020.
