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:

  1. Login and use outlook on a browser for general purposes
  2. Use a tailered third party client from flatpak such as https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/io.github.mahmoudbahaa.outlook_for_linux
  3. Use thunderbird
  4. 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.
