I'm thinking about switching to Linux because my current laptop struggles with Windows, especially since it only has 4GB of RAM. However, I'm heavily reliant on MS Teams for schoolwork. Before I make the switch, I want to know if there's a way to run MS Teams on Linux. Are there any specific distros that support it, or can I use it through a web browser?

If you're paying for Teams, consider checking out the integration with Thunderbird instead. Some users have found that to work really well!
I typically use the web version of Teams. It gives you most of the functionality without needing to install the app, which is a plus for keeping things light on your system. Just access it through a browser and you're good to go!
If you're looking for a lightweight option, the browser version is definitely the way to go. It has pretty much all the features you'll need for your classes.
Yes, the browser version of MS Teams works fine on popular browsers like Firefox and Chrome. I’ve gotten the desktop client to run, but honestly, it's probably not worth the hassle. If you really need it, consider running the Android version using Waydroid after setting it up on Linux.
I wouldn't recommend installing the desktop version of Teams, though. It mainly just wraps the web interface anyway. Stick with the browser; it should cover all your needs for school.
