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?

    First, I would recommend posting this in a privacy community instead, as linux isn’t just for privacy. I don’t like to give comments correcting people without proposing a solution, so I would say just running it in your browser with uBlock Origin and maybe a random user agent switcher if zoom lets you. Also clear your cookies when you are done. If you really want full privacy then just use tor browser for it.

      Can you actually have a fast enough connection for Zoom through Tor?

        If you use YOUR login to participate in Zoom via Tor, then Zoom already knows who you are, regardless of HOW you access it
