Hello everyone, you can finally download Microsoft Teams for Ubuntu. This is big news as Microsoft and Canonical continue to work together and honestly, maybe I am just thinking too much but do not be surprised if Ubuntu itself is bought by Microsoft, I can feel something like this might happen, maybe not in a year or two but I won’t be surprised if this happens or maybe Microsoft can be clever and just become a major funding “partner” for Ubuntu? I don’t think it’s a bad thing per say but it’s something I can see happening.

Today we will highlight some reasons why we think you should try Microsoft Teams on your Linux OS and experience one of the best software for team collaboration, team chat and project management tools available. We here at Oxavi Group now officially use Microsoft Teams as our software to community projects etc and we don’t regret switching over from Trello. Now that MS Teams is on Linux, it looks like we will for sure stick with it also. The UI is absolutely great and I have to give Microsoft credit for making a product that looks great to use on any OS. Of course Microsoft Teams is integrated with Office 356 and at the same time you can manage your team chats and projects on your mobile phones. Let us know in the comments what you think of Microsoft Teams once you decide to try it.
