- larrik 6y agoThe web version of Outlook has come a long way, and in my opinion has become the superior product (for my use cases, at least).
- thethimble 6y agoYou’re also missing Adobe products as well as most games. Using Linux without a reboot is an incredible convenience. Glossing over the value of proprietary software that only runs on Windows is narrow minded.
- Zardoz84 6y agofew games, not most games.
- larrik 6y agoMy comment was really only about Outlook itself (using the web vs the desktop version, I prefer the web version). that said, I hate Adobe products with a passion. When I build identical computers for my wife and I, the moment I install the Abode shit on hers, it becomes noticeably slower at everything. I don't truly understand it.
- chrisandchris 6y agoThe web version does work until you need to sign into more than 2 accounts per day (1 in regular, 1 in private). If you need more than 2 accounts, it does not work anymore. Edit: it does work, but it will sign you out from all M365 services which requires a lot of logins for nothing.
- magicalhippo 6y agoCouldn't you just use Firefox Containers for that? Seems to work fine for Google stuff.
- dlgeek 6y agoFirefox container tabs are great for this sort of thing.
- aksss 6y agoFF containers are great. Edge profiles do basically the same thing as well.
- larrik 6y agoFair, I'm only using it on one account. Also, I have a special Firefox plugin to make notifications louder.
- rodelrod 6y agoI get most of that running a Windows VM inside Linux. Granted, if there's enterprise IT involved there's no escape.
