Personally I've been using outlook via pwa for months anyway

If they're gonna put it in an electron container anyway you be may as well cut out the middleman and just use the web app Microsoft's ones are actually quite good now

I thought outlook had been electron for a while

I've been using the outlook pwa on Linux for some time with no issues, maybe try that instead if it's causing problems for you on windows?

Usually the reaction you'll get trying to convince someone to use an operating system when they don't know or care what an operating system is

I'd like to interject for a moment, what you're referring to as Linux is actually gnu/linux/churbleyimyam

Why? What does that do?

I don't think DE really means much for security, your biggest concern is always going to be the software you run having the same privelages as you (IE filesystem access)

I just hope nobody clicks the reader view button in the top right, it would be just terrible if they got an ad free, paywall free version of the site

This is a great middle ground suggestion

If you have a laptop and a desktop put it on the laptop fully rather than dual boot

Until proton came out I kept dual booting but I always ended up booting into windows because I didn't know how to do x on Linux

When I just wiped windows completely and put it on my laptop I distro hopped for a bit but never went back

Ended up switching my PC over too after about 6 months and I no longer own any windows machines, nor feel the need to besides the odd firmware upgrade of a peripheral or something

True, I used bluestacks once or twice and concluded it was bloated and possibly dodgy so never really used it

Ah I read or as of, thought op said dropping support of dual boot

Sorry I meant nix-shell -p, I didn't read your original comment properly apparently

It's definitely an option as op wants to run one script from the sounds of it, nix-shell not nix shell is perfect for that

It's a bit needlessly confusing that there are two entirely separate commands with the same name and thought you were talking about the original one
