That’s if you bother using Skype of course.

Interesting, coming not long after the html version enabling Chromebooks to finally use Skype (of course, when Android comes to Chromebook, it was a done deal anyway).
The Linux version has been awfully neglected, quite a sea change in Microsoft, and probably one of the few changes I’d say was positive forward thinking, quite novel for a company that tends to think “how can we crush everything except our own vision”.
Francis Anderson Microsoft is a company of many parts. Often it finds itself at odds with itself. So there may well be hope for the future.
I’d like to interject for a moment, what you’re referring to as Skype is actually NSA/Skype
