1. Why should I install Zoom on Linux when there are so many Zoom plugins?
Although the Zoom plugin is available for multiple web browsers, in the rare event your web browser stops working, you have the Zoom client. Besides, sometimes it takes months after a new release for the developers to update plugins.
2. Can you easily uninstall the Zoom client?
Uninstalling Zoom is a snap from the command line. All distros can be uninstalled via a single command. For example, to uninstall the Zoom client from an Ubuntu-based distro, enter the following from the command line: Alternatively, to uninstall from a Red-Hat based distro, enter the following from the command line: The Arch distro install is just as easy: Uninstalling Zoom from other Linux distros is just as simple.
3. Why not just install Zoom from the distro’s repository?
Linux development teams have been slow to adopt Zoom in their repositories. They’re coming around, though. For example, Fedora includes Zoom in its repository. It’s refreshing to see Linux installation options for such a popular application like Zoom – especially when so many application development teams overlook Linux when they release a new version of an application. Not only do the Zoom developers offer a Linux installation, they go the extra mile by offering multiple installs for different Linux distros, including Ubuntu, Debian, and Arch.
