I only ever use Zoom on Linux (Ubuntu), and it works just fine every time.

My experience with Google Meet matches yours with Zoom.

I concur. I haven't tried Zoom on any other platform yet, but it has been 100% reliable on my Ubuntu machine. Nothing else even comes close. I've had hundreds of Zoom calls over the past 8 months, from 1:1s to all-hands with ~500 participants. Audio, cameras, screen sharing all worked every single time.

Same experience with Fedora on Wayland. Zoom is solid: audio, video, screen sharing. True for very large calls too.

Nothing else comes close on Linux for me.

We have two Linux users (myself included) that it works great for. Better than pretty much every other video conferencing tool I've tried on Linux. I do use the flatpak installer so that dependencies aren't a problem.

Linux user here. I have tried them all and Zoom is not perfect but is multiple levels above any of the competitors. Don't even get me started with WebEx.
