This is gonna sound like a troll post but i assure you it is not.
I don’t have a coding background but I’ve used Teams in a lot of workplaces and really only encountered like 2 issues entirely.
Either I got seriously lucky or it was before enshittification.
Why do you yourself dislike it? Is it UI? Performance?
I should also say I use Teams for basic purposes like messaging and uploading files, I literally don’t touch anything else and performance hadn’t been an issue. (Likely because I’ve been given thicc-ass workstations in the past)
Startup on boot:
In Windows: cool and normal
In Linux: who the hell do you think you are?!
And I love it. Going Linux helps to focus on what you actually need, and adds so much to the peace of mind.
I’ve never thought about that but you’re right. I basically never have anything launch at boot. I reboot my system so seldom that who cares, but I mean.
