Use ffmpeg to record audio from your desktop (which will include the meeting) then pass it to whisper.cpp or other text-to-speech FLOSS solutions. No need for "AI" or Windows software for that kind of tasks.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No need for “AI”
whisper is AI, it's even made by the Big Bad, OpenAI themselves
At least it's open weight so you can run it on your own stuff
If they still wanted to use 'AI' to summarise or interrogate it, they could then pass that text to something like Jan on their own hardware.
I use cherrytree. It is a bit clunky, but gets the job done.
I just use regular ol' ed for jotting my thoughts on the AI-related news I see each day. After all, it is the standard text editor.
...was that not the question?
