From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wonder what is wrong with jitsi...
I believe this was mostly about stability with 100+ meeting participants. This is second hand information though.
Have you tried selfhosting it? For me, it was unusable, despite a beefy cloud server, even for just 2 people. And thats ignoring setup complexity.
This one is optimized and kubernetes ready, which makes it super easy. Will try out soon.
I was hosting it 5 years ago in a 2gb or 4gb VPS. We were able to run 1440p@120hz, if not higher, streams of our games. The server didn't seem to care much about the load.
That sounds amazing, because I tried it last year and it was like 12 fps with 2 people in a 720p videocall on a much beefier VPS.
As others said, large meetings with many video feeds at the same time.
It supports e2ee, so the French government can't listen in on the calls
Seems like e2ee is being worked on for Meet as well.
All these services support it. And they support not using e2ee.
I would never use a VC system that supports not using e2ee
What services are you referring to when you say “these services?”
It's American.
It's licensed under Apache license:
You know that they could just fork it, right? Saying that "it's american", just causes FUD for opensource.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I didn't say it was a good reason.
