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?

Is this for real? So I shouldn’t be worried about using certain websites that they’ll track me around?

Sort of. There are still tricks that can be used like redirecting between sites to “sync” their states. Container tabs can still be useful because if they do this then the sites will all be “fresh” to that container and not shared between websites. But for the most part yes, different sites have limited ability to track you other than things like fingerprinting and IP address.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
