I forgot to mention that I trust the companies behind Signal & Wire a lot

Did you check that you can start any gui application? Try xlogo for example.
What do you see when you run: ldd /usr/bin/skypeforlinux - It should be

I ran an update this morning. Help > About says I'm on Skype version
8.55.0.141. I'm running Xubuntu 18.04.
Is it open source and more featureful than Skype? There are apparently servers

How about linphone?

If Microsoft is not going to support CentOS 7, what alternatives are there to
