We have like 250, mostly remote and on Slack all the time. There's the occasional hiccup here and there, but generally it's pretty seamless.

I've personally never had an issue with Slack, mic/video included. My connection has always been solid, though. Never tried on a shit connection.
Probably.
Hell, I used it to figure out the optimal viewing angle when mounting my TV on the wall.
It's delusional to think he was ever going to do anything but accelerate the genocide.
Yeah our corporate machines won't run any external media. I assumed that was standard practice.
Spoken like someone who knows absolutely nothing about vim/unix.
Let's give it a shot. I live in the suburbs of Lincoln, Nebraska, which is an average-sized college town in the US (about 300k residents):
- Nearest convenience store: 1.1 miles/1.7km (we often do walk there, takes about 20 minutes)
- Nearest chain supermarket/big supermarket (they are often one in the same here): Target @ 1.5 miles/2.4km
- Bus stop: 1.3 miles/2.1km
- Nearest park: 0.6 miles/965m
- Nearest public library: 3.5 miles/5.6km
- Nearest train station: 9.1 miles/14.6km (we don't really use trains much at all in the US, though)
I'm sure it's fine for small-scale usage, but overall it's extremely inflexible and doesn't really scale well at all. There's also a lot of very basic functionality that's straight up missing. For example, there's no way to have a global epic priority. You can rearrange epics in an epic board, but the ordering of the epics there is not persisted elsewhere. There were many, many other shortcomings we kept running into.
Oh, and after a lot of our tickets had been imported (which itself was a huge undertaking since the auto import tools are complete trash), it started to be very slow. It feels like a very unfinished, unpolished product.
We use Gitlab's CI/CD features extensively at my current job and it's very, very nice. That's what they are actually good at, not project management.
I also wonder if people complaining about Jira are still on Jira Server. Jira Cloud is a much nicer experience. Certainly not perfect, but I've yet to see an actual viable alternative (once worked someplace that tried to move all project management to Gitlab... 🤮).
Uh, there are an absolute fuckload of Java libs out there with nothing more than auto-generated garbage Javadocs.

Ah could be hardware/OS, yeah. I believe everyone at our company are on MacBooks (I'm a Linux guy myself, but orgs don't usually like that).
My personal laptop is a Dell XPS 13 and while I like it for various reasons, it has had plenty of problems with the built-in mic and video (mostly the mic). So it very well could be that.
