When it comes to collaboration tools used in business, especially the enterprise space, that is open source and used widely?
I personally think Skype* is amongst the worst tools in the particular space. (Which is my personal opinion). I find that for messaging, Telegram and Slack work incredibly well. For conferencing, Zoom has a much better experience.
Teams is a confused product where messaging similar to slack is a goal, but it is confused with poor search and a UX based more around posts than conversations.

I'm having trouble parsing that, but am worried you may be suggesting parent's point - that Microsoft isn't releasing tools to run on GNU/Linux operating systems - is because not many enterprises run those OS's on the desktop?
- jmspring 8y agoTypo in there, the question is - name one widely used collaboration tool that is open sourced specifically in enterprise customers? I’d follow that up with, of the major enterprise collaboration tools, which have support for Linux natively? Teams and others work within Browesers.
- Jedd 8y agoOkay, so parent's point was that Microsoft isn't releasing binaries / non free versions of their products for GNU/Linux platforms. Not that there's fewer free software options.
