How can I use Skype on Ubuntu?
Skype is proprietary software that allows you to make calls over the Internet using your computer.
Skype uses decentralized peer-to-peer technologies, so your calls do not go through a central server, but through distributed servers and other users.
The Skype software is free to use, but it is not free software; the source code is proprietary and not available for modification.
Skype is not installed by default on Ubuntu. Install the skype package to use it.
You need to activate the Canonical Partner Repository to install Skype
