Where did you see it stopped working on Linux? What kind of misinformation is that?

More relevant is that it went from a p2p network structure to full centralized under Microsoft.

The Qt version worked. Then they released a terrible Electron version around 2016. You couldn't make video calls in the Linux version. This constitutes not working. I stopped using it.

I just installed the snap now and it seems a lot better and it seems to support video calls on Linux (didn't try to call anyone since everyone I know left skype). Too little too late.

Looks like they stole the remaining credit out of my account though.

That was in 2016. That situation did not last something like 3 years. Indeed there was a time where the electron client was dysfunctional but that did not last more than half a year.
