The new M365 Outlook is just webmail. Every upgrade is actually a reduction in functionality as they align to the web version. The good news is this eliminates the need for Windows.

    Yes! I'm so close to being able to switch the office PC to Linux. I only really use Outlook and Teams, everything else is in a terminal.

    Now to convince Security that I don't need their intrusive logging and scanning crap..

    Outlook and Teams have PWAs that are actually more performant than the desktop apps (anecdotal). They are missing some features, but for the opportunity to use Linux at work, I make it work. Have to use Ubuntu for some unknown reason, but it's better than using Windows

    For some reason our business policy doesn't allow us to use the web versions..

    Ubuntu is very popular in businesses cus it's Debian but with official enterprise support (I strongly dislike both though).

    Luckily all my work is in WSL2 Arch terminal with tmux, so it's bearable, but I miss my rice setup so much!
