The web version of Outlook has come a long way, and in my opinion has become the superior product (for my use cases, at least).

You’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.

My 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.

few games, not most games.

The 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.

Firefox container tabs are great for this sort of thing.

FF containers are great. Edge profiles do basically the same thing as well.

Couldn't you just use Firefox Containers for that? Seems to work fine for Google stuff.

Fair, I'm only using it on one account. Also, I have a special Firefox plugin to make notifications louder.
