Not even just an electron Linux app?

That's what the existing Linux app is.

Are they that incompetent, or that malicious? Slack, Discord, etc all seem to have Electron-based apps in Linux that work just fine.

If they gave two shits about Linux, this would be working just fine. Now they're gonna push Linux users to use Edge, then probably abandon that pile.

Have you looked at any version of Teams? They are clearly incompetent.

Incompetent.

The Slack and Discord apps for Windows and Mac are also fine, where the Teams Electron-based client also sucks.

They have switched/are switching from electron to edge web view 2, which hasn't been ported to Linux yet. So that's probably why they had to trash the Linux app

And probably won’t.

I’m expecting [no hard evidence to this] the full Office will be on top of Edge’s Webview2 soonish.
