Due to work I need to use Microsoft outlook mail on a daily basis. What I would like to know is the privacy and security concerns of various options:
- Login and use outlook on a browser for general purposes
- Use a tailered third party client from flatpak such as https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/io.github.mahmoudbahaa.outlook_for_linux
- Use thunderbird
- Any other possibilities
If they’re going to force me to use Windows or Mac, I’d much rather Windows than Mac. Piece of shit of an “operating system”.
Why? macOS feels a lot like Linux in my regular workflow, which is largely terminal based. There’s two decent package managers (homebrew and macports, I use macports), tmux and vim work as you would expect, etc. 90% of my workflow is the same between macOS and Linux.
I’ve tried WSL, and the workflow just doesn’t feel right.
But at my company, there’s another huge caveat: IT locks down the Windows machines, whereas there’s pretty much no oversight on the macOS computers. That has a ton of value for me.
