I predict that in 5-10 years from now, Microsoft will return to its roots as a general-software company producing apps that run on multiple operating systems. Its main cash-cow however, will be software running on Linux.

Neat. One step closer to using my own Linux laptop in lieu of the companies standard-issue M$ laptop.

Would still rather use Slack though. Teams needs to work on their interface.

This is a pretty common sentiment whenever Teams comes up on HN. In what ways is Slack's interface better?

Meanwhile half the signup flow of Teams still tries to convince you that using Edge is the only way to continue.

Is Teams not an Electron app? I gather that it's not otherwise it would have been on Linux long ago...

It is an Electron app. A couple of simple online searches lead to that conclusion. It may be that MS still wanted to test/tweak it before packaging or releasing it for Linux
