Having always had some issues running MS Teams under Gentoo, I now consider to run it in the runtime environment it is officially build/released on - something like Debian/Ubuntu - but as a Docker container or VM under Gentoo, with the devices snd/camera forwarded from the host, but still isolated from the rest of the system - maybe "it just works"?

Anyone ever tried this? Good idea? Bad idea? Experiences?

Official builds:
1) are based on ancient electron version;
2) can't share screen under wayland;
3) randomly occupy 120% CPU when idle for no reason.

This is how I run it on my side in a wayland session. Not in a docker, but experience is a bit better than with the native electron app:
Code:
google-chrome-stable  --app=https://teams.microsoft.com --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

I use KVM/QEMU for the sake of the paranoia, to isolate some programs.
Someone raccomands Artix, but I mostly use Android x86_64, because of programs who doesn't run on Linux.

No experience with mic/camera.
