Skype for Linux comes packaged as Electron application. The code describing client behavior is in file app.asar. This file can be edited after emerging to hide the "React" button, which can be done by calling an ebuild hook

Installation

Create /etc/portage/bashrc with content from below
Create /etc/portage/hooks/net-im/skypeforlinux/post-install with content from below
emerge skypeforlinux

Troubleshooting

The hook logs its actions and saves a backup. In case skype does not start after this - replace app.asar with the backed up version.
