Phil, the browser isn't the only option, there's also a Linux client alpha that WILL be supported, but at the moment they're still adding older features to since it's rewritten from the ground up. Iirc it's electron based or something similar. Electron being a striped down version of Chromium for packaged web apps, Atom is electron based last i checked, Atom being GitHub's text and code editor

I recently installed a full-install of Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS, and having some issues with Skype, and Google-Talk. Found its best to apt-get Skype verses installing it from Skype.com. It seems the later (from Skype) does not include status-bar message area for icon, where the repository does. Also note: For those using Skype, the application is no longer supported, in favor of their newer Cloud version, which is browser-based. I personally don't want to constantly keep a browser window open, so I can receive Skype calls, so I'm glad I could get it working with Ubuntu 16.04.1. I'll talk more about this topic this evening. Thanks for the meeting reminder, Phil.
