Yet most of their other tools still don't work on Linux, and have no public roadmap to, or any kind of comments on.. I'm waiting on my MS Teams client.... I can understand the older software, that might have lots of history, legacy libraries, etc, but Teams is a brand new tool they are just releasing.. They have a chrome plugin, but it requires you install an MSI.

Sorry, to clarify my frustration, the windows client for Teams is an electron based application.

It works great on macOS. ;)

Support for a tertiary platform (in terms of addressable market share) like Linux desktops comes much later in this kind of product’s maturation.

Teams needs to first gain wider enterprise adoption on Windows and macOS first before they will look at allocating resources to additional platforms. Better off sticking with Slack on Linux until then.
