The feature parity of the web app and the electron app is often noticeable. Microsoft products are a big one. oneNote web lacks a ton of features, teams Linux is very unstable and will outright not show the message history, jumping days or weeks at a time. I needed to make a powerpoint once and it just wouldn't save, the page would repeatedly reload and lose all the changes.

Why would you criticize a platform because corporations misuse that platform? MS intentionally cripples its web offerings because native ones can collect way more data. The web and its featureset are not responsible for issues like "unstable Teams on Linux" and "a page repeatedly reloading and losing all the changes"

The only issue I have with teams for linux is it doesn't wake from suspend properly. So if I suspend I kill it and restart the app. Give that a try and see if it resolves your issues with message updates.

The feature parity of non-electron desktop apps and web apps is even worse. There usually isn't even a web app to compare.

That isn't just Teams on Linux; that's also Teams on Windows (the native app, not thought he browser, even). It is the most astoundingly buggy software I've ever used. I've experienced what you mentioned and more. Once, the GUI elements somehow failed to load, and buttons and menus appeared as text strings, like `sidebar_contact_expander`, and it was this eldritch horror of long string spam everywhere. In a native application. On Windows. Written by Microsoft. Sorry. I have to cathartically vent about it whenever given the opportunity.

  I concur! The MS-Teams UI designers must have been on an illicit substance. Or else they let a bunch of PHB's (MBA's) do a big Design By Committee. If it were not for bundling deals, nobody would touch Teams with a 10 foot laptop. And obvious features are missing. Somebody deserves a big public firing. Our most popular Teams sub-site is "How To Work Around Teams Oddities". I don't even know if they are "bugs" because I don't know what the fudge MS intended.
