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.

That sucks :( I'm pretty much in the same boat. I get to use a Linux desktop at work on the proviso that I don't raise support requests. We use Microsoft for nearly everything so naturally it's an uphill battle. The web UI is quite buggy and "not recommended" by my org. Teams doesn't support Firefox so I have to run a separate browser especially for it.
But aside from interfacing with Microsoft everything just works, and really nicely.
Teams as a PWA installed via edge seems to be the best way to make management happy enough and works better than the windows client sometimes
