I did see the bit about Skype being killed; which
doesn't break my heart, as
it was proprietary, anyway. But the song remains the same, which is how to
get a GNU/Linux free/libre application to work with proprietary software like
Skype, or whatever will replace Skype as the application used by "most
people" who aren't Linux geeks who wish to remain free (as in freedom), as
well as not to spend too much money.
I think that today for informal (non-businness) calls, Google Meet and
whatsapp have become very popular.
