I've had a pretty poor experience with it myself, so I wanna see what the Linux community thinks about this.

LOL I never heard about it. They are like wanting to compete with discord?

I guess so, have never heard of anyone actually using it but it's built into windows so someone probably will at some point

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.
