Some of us do not want to have our chat experience in a Google Chrome or MS Edge web page. The stand alone desktop client is what WE want.

Yes , and Hangouts is wonderful , but in a broader sense when you have paid for your subscription, and get less than stellar support for the client from the developer you have a right to be cheesed off. That is why I posted the story here, the issue had sat for months on the community forums with no answers from them. Forcing the issue here on Slashdot was the last straw to make MIcrosoft and the Skype developers wake up and smell their burning Starbucks coffee and hipster toast.
Submission + - Skype for Linux. Dead? Or Just Resting? 2
somebearouthere writes: Skype for Linux was updated in 2014 to 4.3 and has sat there without an update while other platforms have been updated including the new version for Universal Winodws. Some where in 2015 there was an answer to the community in the Angroid forums, that Microsott has quietly abandoned that version of the product, leaving Linux users who have paid for subscriptions very unhappy, with the expectation that one day they too, would be able to finally use group video chat, have a real 64-bit version available, not have to use 32-bit libraries for GTK, and overall a better UI.
Skype developers have just thrown in the towel and it has left the user base frustrated. What to do now?
