If those you wish to have a video call with already have each others phone numbers then Signal is a option. It supports up to 40 participants. Available on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac and Linux.

Signal has other great chat/messaging features too.
Also a unofficial community on Kbin

Firefox Send was something I had quickly gotten used to and really loved, its sad that they had to shut it down because some people started misusing it. I still miss it.

Firefox Send is making a comeback Thunderbird Send.

Jon ran a poll on Mastodon with regards to what linux packages people mainly use.

722 votes =
58% DEB
43% Flatpak
24% RPM
7% Snap

Jon also mentions Flatpak specifically:

At @Vivaldi we clearly like to support the packages our users want. At the same time adding packages is not just a question of making the packages, but also a question of testing, which can be quite time consuming.
The issue with Flatpak is that the Flatpak sandbox requires us to disable the Chromium sandbox, which is not optimal.
If there is a way around that, that would be great!
Disabling the Chromium sandbox is a potential security problem and requires changes in Chromium.

For me Ultramarine seems like it's main thing is to offer Fedora with patent encumbered software included ootb. I.e rpmfusion enabled and probably some other bits and tweaks.

The Ultramarine team aims to make Fedora a little more user friendly by allowing users to install or package any software they want as long as someone maintains it in either RPMFusion or the Ultramarine repository.

They do mention under planned features

System configuration application similar to YaST

So that could be interesting and combined with rpmfusion ootb help ease new users into the Fedora side of Linux.
