What would be the better option for privacy. Logging into my windows partition and using zoom just for class logging right back out or install zoom on my linux partition?
I would keep it simple and use the zoom web client and restrict as much as possible.
However, if you must have an app, they support linux. Then you can sandbox it as you would other apps on your machine.
Going into another partition might be a bit safer, but I’m not sure the privacy vs convinience tradeoff works.
Is there a reason why you didn’t list “using the web client in firefox and install none of their crap on my machine” among the options you consider ?
I did not know zoom had a web client
IIRC they usually try to push you towards installing their
spywaredesktop client and the option to join the meeting from your browser is made as less visible as possible.
I would just use a private Firefox window to join via the web client. What kind of privacy intrusion are you most worried about?
just the general microsoft is touch my computer.
Well then Linux obviously
The most important kind of privacy intrusion 😹
Just use the browser client. They try to hide it but you can click thought the small text to launch it. The browser sandbox is one of the most reliably privacy options that we have.
If you put zoom in a flatpak and tighten its permissions, it won’t be able to touch the rest of your system
The zoom Linux client is crappy so if the web one does not work for you I would suggest just booting into windows and using it.
you are the first to suggest using window. Since I would only log in just for class and right back it it can’t really track much.
