It does but in exchange devs can make cross-platform applications. I don't mind using Electron apps unless they're horribly optimized like Teams used to be some years ago.

Teams is still horribly optimized and barely works though. I love having to restart my computer in order to be able to sign in.

Protip: It's much faster and more stable when just opened as a webpage in Firefox

I wish. Teams literally says Firefox is not supported and doesn't allow me to make calls, even though I'm able to join meetings. Teams is a joke.

I also used to have that message but it seems like they've got that back in order.

I remember that back then you could download an extension to pretend your user agent was Chrome and Teams would work flawlessly.

@JackBruhhh

I am well aware, this is the main reason why I'd rather have an electron app on #linux, than only a #windows app existing.
