Is there some alternative to using snap or web-skype

Oh wow, efficient packaging tailored to work properly in your OS is
being abandoned for a huge 2GB blob (referring to one of Paul's links)
that will probably have problems with every distro (*).
* My experience with allegedly universal blobs is negative, you find
things like you cannot print from the application. You have to save a
PDF, then open it in a PDF viewer and print from there. Tedious
backwards crappory.
I agree in principle, especially for the waste of space and the duplication of
libraries but I'm using it and other application via snap without big issues.
The only one, that I'm struggling to solve is the font of the buttons of file
listener that look as missing in any application from microsoft/meta (e.g., teams,
skype and whatsapp)
My 2¢
