Linux and Skype

[Danielh90]

I am very that skype came in to the linux world but having a hard time using it. It's very Sketchy I feel like. Does anyone feel like its update to the windows skype?

It is probably like that because Microsoft does not really want to put much time into it. They know that only 1% of people will be using it, so wy would they bother but much time into it? The skype for Linux is just a simpler and harder-to-use version that is based out of the Windows version.

So, as long as you can use the program, it is probably fine!

Hope this helped!

Yeah, it's awful.

 

So is the Windows version, though.

true, but at least the windows version looks like it was made in the last decade. Linux skype is super old school.

 

anyone tried running skype with wine?
