Yes, that statement was contradictory and I realize I should stop using Hangouts too.

Does that answer your question?

I don't, and I wish I can quit using gmail too, but I still need to find the alternative.

I work from home (remotely) so I tend to use my personal stuff.

I use a QEMU VM for most of the projects I work with (rails, node, python, etc).

That said, I already tried using zoom with a QEMU VM but I was never able to get the microphone jack to work with the VM.

I've been using flatpak and firejail and while those are excellent tools, I still get uncomfortable when running untrustworthy programs inside containers.

I use a QEMU VM for most of the projects I work with (rails, node, python, etc). I ssh into the VM and do the work, it works great and I am happy with this setup.

That said, I already tried using zoom with a QEMU VM but I was never able to get the microphone jack to work. I should try again.

Does it not annoy you having to reboot all the time?

I don't like Google (for privacy and other reasons); however, I can join a Hangout call with a regular Firefox browser without installing additional plugins.

Yes, that doesn't mean I am comfortable with using Hangout, but what are the alternatives? Jitsi?

I am not in the US.

I don't have a smartphone.
