| Synopsis: Microsoft's Skype software is not open source and subject to legal restrictions, that's why Skype itself is not available in the Mageia repositories. |
Skype was an internet-based instant messaging service. It was discontinued in May 2025 and is no longer available.
Microsoft had already changed the deployment type of skypeforlinux in November 2023. Deployment as rpm and deb was discontinued, which is why skypeforlinux was only available in Canonical's Snap format.
