Is the Windows Subsystem for Linux worth it?
Is the Windows Subsystem for Linux worth it?
I've had a pretty poor experience with it myself, so I wanna see what the Linux community thinks about this.
You're viewing a single thread.
For me: totally. I need to use windows for work. With WSL, I can use all the tools I need via the Debian box underneath. All I use windows for are the communication apps my colleagues use.
Apart from work: nope. Full time Linux kinda guy
Glad to know teams isn't just the bane of my existence on linux
Teams and outlook have both pretty good third party flatpaks.
From what I gather teams-for-linux still uses the web version doesn't it? Would that not be subject to all the same problems?
From what I hear the only thing that doesn't work is reaction emojis in meetings.
Might give it another go then, the problem for me is not that it doesn't work, but that it doesn't work reliably though
Have been using it as a PWA and half the time it forgets I gave it mic permissions or resets my audio settings/doesn't even recognise my mic in the first place
I use flatpak edge and install teams as a pwa works like a charm.
Edge I haven't tried yet. Have been trying to use degoogled chromium where I can but that's a battle I might have to give up on in this case
