On ubuntu 13.04 Skype segfaults constantly (I've read a couple of threads about fixing the issue and it is kind of works now expect it segfaults every time chat message comes in) so I'm thinking it is time to find it a replacement.
Which one should I choose?
Ok, I've seen previous post, yet only one answer in it highlights some alternatives. Also I want no the alternative skype client, but the whole ecosystem.
The one alternative presented ooVoo does not support linux and other goober shows unresolved dependency: libglew1.5
Reflap is great skype alternative out there. It's web based so you won't need to download anything and you can make free video calls to anyone of your choice easily. Plus you get a call address which will serve as your phone number allowing anyone to call you when your available.
