> Wayland Don't blame Teams for the fact that Linux can't sort out its Desktop GUI situation.

  Yes, the second graphical API that Linux supports in 30 years, definitely Linux's problem.

    The fact that screenshots and the security around them is still a flaming ball of garbage on Linux is not Teams' fault. The fact that Wayland still sucks after 15+ years is not Teams' fault. The fact that nobody unpaid want to work on X11, Wayland, and Linux GUI stuff is not Teams' fault.

      That may well be true, but other providers of similar services seem to have this working just fine.

  Linux ‘sorted out’ its display server protocol years ago, it’s Wayland. Fedora has been on Wayland by default since 31. Ubuntu has been on Wayland by default since 21.4. Debian has been on Wayland by default since 11. Distributions that don’t have an implementation of Wayland enabled by default are hold-outs at this point. It’s somewhat understandable that developers for Microsoft might not be fully across the status of display servers and their respective implementations in Linux, but it’s a reasonable rule of thumb to assume that Wayland is the way to go for any new projects since 2021 at the very latest. If you build your app for X today it’s probably going to be running under XWayland anyway.
