Yeah, I think the whole UI needs a little work so that this
is all straightforward.

However, I am quite happy to note that

a) Skype seems to treat Linux as a coequal partner:

   and moreover, it gives equal love to each distribution.

b) Skype's Linux support is also decent:

Now if I could just get this mic working ...
