I didn't realize there was a GNU/Linux client for it. I've used it,
but only on my Windows work computer. I like it better than any other
conferencing software I've used because I find the interface
comfortable and easy to understand. I also like that it gives you the
choice to record the session to the cloud or to your device.

I didn't encounter any, but I suppose all software has some if you
look hard enough.

No idea, but I'd be interested to find out, too. Others have
apparently asked about this several years ago:

There seem to be some snap packages for it if you do a search for
"ubuntu snap package zoom" on Google. I don't know anything about how
secure or reliable snap packages are, but maybe someone else in here
can chime in.
