Anybody Skype users here?

[Juan R.D. Silva]

Hi folks,

I use Skype installed from Debian official repo.  A couple of days ago 
it refused to update reporting "server timed out". After looking into 
it, I found that MS removed Skype.deb package from their server and 
basically forces everyone to use Snap package instead.

Skype is the only app I would need Snap for on my system. Unfortunately, 
I still need Skype and I do not see any alternative but to concede to MS 
(and Ubuntu?) brute coercion.

Any body installed Snap on their Debian system? Any problems with that 
thing? Any suggestions to use Skype otherwise?

Thanks
