I'm trying to make WhatsApp calls on my Linux machine, but I'm having trouble. My laptop has a camera and microphone, but it seems like the app doesn't allow calls. I found that I can't install the Windows version of WhatsApp, and the web version isn't working for me either. Does anyone have any suggestions? I did come across a couple of potential solutions, like using a VM to run Windows or using Waydroid with the WhatsApp APK, but I'm curious if there are easier options or additional insights.

Have you considered using ZapZap? It's compatible with Linux Mint and Ubuntu, so it might be a good alternative. Just double-check if it supports calling because some users say it’s more of a web client.
You could try using an Android emulator like Genymotion. It lets you install Android, and then you can load up WhatsApp. However, the camera might only work if you pay for the pro version. It's the method I use to handle WhatsApp calls on Linux. Otherwise, Waydroid is another option, but I'm not sure if it's still reliable now.
Currently, WhatsApp Web doesn’t support calling, and there’s no official WhatsApp application for Linux. Using Waydroid to run the app could be your best bet, though some users have reported issues with getting the camera to function properly. Give it a shot and see if it works for you!
