@nixCraft Works much better the other way around. Winapps lets you run windows apps on a linux desktop seamlessly. It's magical.

@georgramer @nixCraft can it run teams? As MS stopped the teams app for linux...

@gunstick @nixCraft If it's just for Teams then winapps would be overkill. Under the hood it RDPs into a local (or remote) windows VM.

Teams works well for me in Chromium, though.

@georgramer @nixCraft I recenzly had a teams meeting, used firefox. No video cameras of the participants and also svreen sharing was not showing on my side.
Obviously MS is artificially crippling everything which is not by them.
This was on a 10Gbit link, so no network problem.

@gunstick @nixCraft Yeah, I use 🔥🦊 for everything but Teams. Teams only works well in Chromium. Even screen sharing works reliably. (Ubuntu, Gnome, Wayland).

@georgramer @gunstick @nixCraft Chrome or Edge works fine for Teams - Ubuntu with i3. I mean, Teams is dogshit, so "works" is a loose term, but as far as Teams "works" it works in Chromium based browsers.

@georgramer @gunstick @nixCraft FWIW, the Linux version of Teams still works, I'm using it daily on my Debian desktop.

The only issue is that unless you managed to save the package back when it was downloadable, you're out of luck actually getting it today. :)

I have the .deb of several most recent versions, but I guess legally I am unable to distribute it to anybody else...
