I have a Linux work laptop which they let us have but we still have to use the MS crap. Fortunately most of it is accessible through the browser but a lot of the Office apps are broken, or missing features on web.
Don’t worry, teams is always somewhere between 10%-30% broken, always something n doesn’t work, there are always a bunch of people that can’t get in the meeting, that can’t share screens all of the sudden because fuck you, that’s why
Teams is the absolute worst and not a day goes by without people shitting on it, and we’re only using it because most of our customers do but internally we will switch to something open source soon, because I get to make that decision 😎
you know, sometimes I wonder if Matrix could be used in a business setting, and worry about its rough edges and buggy features of Element. but you know what! it would probably be fine! not worse than teams, and at least they don’t want to fuck you over!
OK, I’m really curious on what programs your engineers use then. Engineering has been one of the use-cases for me, that made it basically impossible to switch to Linux full-time. If you know, please tell me.
I see. Using the browser app certainly doesn’t sound like the optimal solution, but if it works fine, then that’s great. Unfortunately that’s not feasible for my case.
My company is transitioning to teams. Most of our engineering is on Linux.
Can Microsoft please hurry up and break teams so we can’t transition?
God I wish my company allowed that

This is fairly common in software development.
I’m still at my first job in Software Development.

I have looked but I just couldn’t find an open source alternative that supported Teams core features like showing an error every time I login.

If Co is willing to use it in current state, all the breaking in the world is not going to change their mind.
I think this has gone and done it for you

All the EDA tools for silicon design are Linux based.
Thx for the answer, that makes sense. I’m more in the mechanical sector now and don’t have much to do with silicon design.
We have Linux. We just use the in browser app. Works fine.
