Besides finding it more reliable in general than alternatives I've tried, Zoom is the only conference software I've found that allows me to share my screen on Linux.

Google meet works for me on Chrome, also, appear.in works great on Firefox.

  Can echo this... Have been running a linux desktop for 10+ years and google meet is one of the few systems I don't have issues with. The drawback is that Chrome is a requirement for some functionality which kind of sucks. But I think that's particularly because they have been in the driving seat with webrtc for years and have implemented things in Chrome to test the water before proposing it as part of the standards. Check out Serge Lachapelle who has been leading Google's engineering efforts for years...

Slack? At least my colleague shares his screen with me weekly and he uses Linux mint

  Slack is browser based, even the "native" client option. This means your colleague cannot choose which screen to share in Linux, so if he has two screens he has to go at great lengths to make it work properly (either share both or share a specific app instead of a screen). Also Slack's screen sharing quality is terrible and ofter you cannot read letters in the remote end's screen. Zoom's codec is much more crisp with text and graphics, almost like a native app running in your computer instead of video.

    Are you paying for slack? Since we started paying the quality vastly improved.

      We do pay, for us, it doesn't make any difference in the quality.

  The Slack screen sharing is so laggy it's painful. Which is weird because pre-acquisition Screenhero was incredible. It was the best screen sharing software I'd ever used.
