Hell I don't trust most legit software with my data. I still remember people being in awe of how I made Teams work on my Linux notebook (the previous guy couldn't make it right for some reason) by just running it in Chromium. The more sandboxed these 'apps' can be the better.

I myself run it in Edge, specifically because I believe Microsoft is less capable of exfiltrating and collecting my data effectively that Google.

That and the "official" "Linux" app is basically unsupported.

MS dropped support for the “Linux” “client”.

That client was basically an electron app.

How lazy is it to drop support for it? Especially as they’re pretending to be nice now, not hate Linux anymore, rolling it into windows etc.

MS will always be the greedy MS. Embrace extend extinguish.

Fwiw, teams runs well enough in chromium. I don’t use chromium for anything else so chromium has basically become my MS teams “Linux” “client” since they dropped support for it.

I’d run it in its own Firefox container but it would seem like MS purposefully cripples teams in Firefox as I can’t get background blurring or live captioning/translation to work there.

Just like google that requires you to use chrome AND be logged in to unlock background blurring… same evil, but story for another time.
