I just installed openSUSE (version 13.2). This is my first time using this distro (and it has been a while since I have used linux period). I am starting to set things up and messing around with stuff. I tried to use skype to video chat with my friends and realized that I can't do video chat with multiple people on linux (unless u know how to do that). Does anyone have any good suggestions on what i should try and replace it with? It needs to have a windows and mac option as well (all of my friends use windows, except one or two that use mac).
Side note, it was a pain in the ass to get the nvidia drivers working for my gtx 970, but i finally got them to work aftera few hours and multiple reinstalls (probably would have been easier if I knew more about linux, especially the command line lol)
thanks for the suggestions. Also, I welcome any other set up or program recommendations.
Skype is not safe to use. Ekiga is used a lot on linux, it works really well. Similar open source compatible solutions are also available for Mac and Windows, so interaction with software console platforms is not a problem. In fact, you'll probably also be able to communicate with smart TV's and other devices using open source solutions. Skype is very limiting.
Installation of Skype on a linux system is like installation of Adobe Flash or the Steam client on linux: don't do it unless in an unprivileged lxc or a kvm container!!!!!
