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.

Is there a reason why you didn't list "using the web client in firefox and install none of their crap on my machine" among the options you consider ?
I did not know zoom had a web client
IIRC they usually try to push you towards installing their ~~spyware~~ desktop client and the option to join the meeting from your browser is made as less visible as possible.

They could also run Firefox as a nonpersistent app in docker, if that makes them feel any better.
