Skype v5 for linux in beta...

@runfrodorun any alternative?

@runfrodorun listen (or read😀) I am not mocking linux or anything. I love linux and use it as a daily driver for most of my dev work. Its just that I need services like skype too and that Microsoft is not doing enough in this field bugs me. I would love to see some voip by Linux organizations or from individual devs which reaches similar status as that of skype or face time.

I use it for my gaming chats @mxschll

I'd you don't care about Windows or using Skype then why should I care about using linux? If use windows for exactly those reasons, I play games, and use Skype. Why? Because I fuckin can. It seems like all linux users love to do is compile from source and bitch about what windows users do. I guess it's true what they say, Linux people really don't have any life besides work and fixing *another* problem in linux :p

@runfrodorun so the fact that the wifi didn't work on my dev machine using linux but worked straight away with windows is nothing right? Thanks for staying true to the Linux nazi way and try and crucify anyone who dares use something different than you, you've been a doll ;)

Microsoft love

Man fanboys are hard to crack.

@ScribeOfGoD well.. . If you used ubuntu, its your own fault... Ubuntu is crappy (altough I use it) 😂 😂

@ScribeOfGoD the sole fact that you mention that as a reason in Windows' favor is just sad.
It would probably be best if you just don't touch Linux at all.
Might expand your universe too much to handle 🖖🏼

Skype alternative: Discord ;)

@Daneo so what will I tell work? :p God damn, Linux users love to dig their hole deep don't they :p

Skype Web application pretty works

@ScribeOfGoD totally agree linux/opensource fanboys super heroes are even worst than apple fans, they claim that everybody must use what they use because only that is the RIGHT side

@dontbeevil at least we dont resort to namecalling :)

@yusijs more like everything but :p

this discussion again?! just use whatever the fuck you're comfortable and/or most productive with!
i'm using windows solely for gaming and linux for all the rest, works like a charm for me. so why all the hate?

@ScribeOfGoD It's very simple, use whatever the fuck you want, easy as that! What I do hate (not a personal attack, just a general annoyance) is that people often don't take others into account who want to keep their privacy. But hey, as I said, use whatever suits you. I personally haven't used windows in like seven years or so but Linux works perfectly fine for me (and next to that, not allowed to use closed source software at work but that works great).

Just felt the need to clarify that there are also not so 'linux is the best and fuck everything else!' peoples. (not saying Nazi because I see that as a very fucking bad swearing word)

@linuxxx i agree of you, of course i didn't say there are ALL the same... I bet you dont use android or any google services if you care about privacy :)

Thanks @FlrQue

@dontbeevil Android isn't the problem (aosp is open source),it's the Google play services which are bad for privacy

Skype sucks anyways....
