Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The only thing that drives me nuts on a regular basis is the lack of fully functional Microsoft apps. Specifically Teams and Outlook. Unfortunately I work with Microsoft shops constantly and need those two apps. Outlook PWA has issues and freezes constantly. Teams PWA just doesn't do notifications.

That's it.

But Windows blows and Macs are just too damned expensive.

I use teams for Linux, and it has notifications. I used teams Pwa on Firefox before and that also had notifications.

I'll try Teams for Linux. Teams for Firefox does give notifications, but doesn't support background pictures or screen sharing. Well, last I checked.

In the same boat. The web versions have compatibility issues with the desktop versions when it comes to formatting. I've resorted to running Windows unlicensed in a VM.
