Update…Per Microsoft’s instructions, disabled all tracking protections in Safari and requested desktop mode and it works. Their instructions say turn protections back on after using teams… 😐
Funny enough it works in Safari and not Edge…tho that may be Apple’s fault since all browsers are somewhat just versions of Safari, last I heard…

Lemmy has a serious boner for hating on Microsoft.
If they would actually fix their shit then we would probably be less critical of it but right now it is a pile of steaming garbage
So my Linux loving friend had their Debian installation nuke itself the other day. They went to boot it up and it just vanished. Completely gone. For zero discernable reason. It worked the night before without issue, it worked for months before that without issue, only to boot up and have everything missing.
All this is to say that using non Microsoft operating systems doesn't magically make everything better. Everything in computing has issues and there's no such thing as the perfect system.
Plus, even if Windows was perfect and fully FOSS, you and I both know you and all the other unix people would still hate it. It's been the same circle jerk since the day unix existed.
As in there is no boot entry? Or the drive was empty? There about 5 different possible causes for that that I can think of, all of which are user errors or hardware failures (or windows updates wiping boot entries xD).
Regardless, I get what you are saying, I wouldn't recommend using Linux for 98% of people. The exception being when what you need to do is either not supported or is an absolute nightmare on Windows.
I chose to use Linux before I needed it, purely because windows always felt unintuitive, sluggish and irrationally complicated for me. Nowadays I cannot do what I need to do (for work and personal projects) on Windows or do not have the time to get it working. I maintain several Linux and Windows servers, on top of writing the software that's running on them. I simply do not have the time to deal with a lack of documentation and the weird workarounds needed to do what I need to do on Windows.
When it comes to things like scientific computing, ML, databases and anything "backend" or low level, most of the software doesn't support Windows and the OS level API's are confusing as all hell.
Windows is better for the average "desktop user", but it falls short as soon as you need to do things the average user never does.
