Why is Zoom even still popular?

I guess because that's a standard tool everyone in business has. Also the Microsoft alternatives (including Skype after buyout) sucks. I don't use these tools (used Skype before Microsoft purchased it), so this is not my personal opinion.

this. my last companies security team was crazy aggressive but would allow zoom meetings right after the big security incident.

jitsi is good feature wise, but it's not widely advertised..

Also Flatpak would be helpful in this case too, if there was a package for.

Thank you. This is the summary I needed.

Anyone running a Linux system with Wayland should be OK.

And this is exactly why I put up with the functionality regressions of Wayland over X11 for the first few years.

I understood that all X11 apps running under Wayland are running inside the same environment, or is that wrong?

In other words, all X11 clipboards are shared.

I'm also not sure about clipboard isolation, since I'd have thought that copy/paste between Wayland and X11 would be expected.

I think so, but the sandbox can easily be broken in theory from what I heard. It'll probably be fine as long as Zoom doesn't add malicious code that does such a thing.

On some things.

On others he couldn't be more wrong.

I mean yes, but why this time?

I would recommend running untrusted proprietary software as a webapp if possible, it will not be able to be as intrusive in that case compared to native app even with all the sandboxing (flatpak, snap, etc...). Or Virtual machine as the most secure option, but it may be overkill.
