Having to use windows at work makes me appreciate my desktop Linux experience at home. - eviltoast

I’m a teacher and our division just “upgraded” to W11 with a new version of outlook that is basically a web app on desktop. Several times a day my laptop comes to a complete crawl while Teams decides to open itself. Can’t open or close programs, Firefox won’t register mouse clicks, nothing. Graphical glitches appear al the time with menu bars and task bars disappearing regularly, requiring force quitting the app or logging out of the desktop.

When I first switched to Linux I assumed my experience would be like this. But now it’s the other way around.

Rant over.

    Hate to say but in our office it’s the other way around. Teams HAS to start automatically before outlook can be opened manually otherwise the addin for meetings won’t load. Every morning I log in, make some coffee and then go talk to colleagues… Thanks Microsoft for the slow morning, other see this as luxury!

      I started using Outlook in my Firefox browser during COVID, and have not gone back. Seems to connect to Teams just fine
