I've never used Skype. Is there something it does better or differently than any other VOIP/messaging client that's made their poor Linux support such a popular issue, other than it was better before Windows bought it?
My current daily means of communication on Linux is Google Voice/Hangouts, but I've also used others over the years, like GnomeMeeting/Ekiga, TeamViewer, and TeamSpeak. They've all worked fairly easily and without issue. With all the options, could someone explain why Skype matters?
- biot 11y agoThere is one thing that Skype is particularly good at that other VoIP/messaging clients aren't: talking to users who have Skype accounts. Your question is little different than suggesting there are many alternative social networks to Facebook, so why don't people just use those instead?
