Haven’t tried Zoom on Linux but there the competitor Microsoft Teams is a total disaster Electron app. Beating that one is a really low bar.
Starting with screen sharing since that’s the main topic here. Doesn’t work at all on wayland so no point to even compare further.
Moving on to UI performance, it must be among the worst applications I’ve ever seen since 1993. Even on a super beefy gaming machine. Basic stuff like scrolling in a chat or just switching between chat tabs measures in several seconds rather than milliseconds, and always comes with some weird flicker or jank. Toggling between two open chats, you know the thing you do 1000 times per day, is equally slow and frustrating. I’d rather take no Linux support at all than this vomit.
- jmrm 5y agoTotally true. I really dislike Teams. With the same account I had about the same bugs in Teams in different, OS with different computers, and even in my phone, and every time in every machine in every OS I had to close the application and open it again to solve it. They funny thing here is that they weren't account related fails, like not having permission to do Z thing, but not having audio, video, or being unable to watch a shared screen. By the other hand, a simple thing like Google Meets have worked in any OS without any problem to most of the people I know, and the problems were usually related to microphone and webcam permissions.
