You actually don’t need it.
If you trust Zoom enough, then you can install its official client from its webpage, without “a whole ass sandbox program” that restricts its access to important parts of your system.
But it’s your call, I prefer the other way around.
Being recently acquired by Canva stops me from trusting that deal in the long run.
Even the casual Zoom meeting is a breeze because of the Flatpak client.
Yes, it is, although there are many differences between both.
Many suggest Linux Mint (one of the best regarded beginner distro) as well, which has two versions, one based on Ubuntu and the other on Debian.
So, the three are like Debian’s most popular branch.
Please reconsider.
Since Affinity have been recently acquired by Canva, many of its users doubt that perpetual license will be respected.
Just look at the comments of its announcement.
