have to use zoom for my class
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?

If you put zoom in a flatpak and tighten its permissions, it won't be able to touch the rest of your system
Is this actually true withoit using wayland?
If you're using X, it would be able to read your inputs for other applications and such, but if you don't do anything sensitive while it's running it still won't be able to do anything.
Wont it be able to take screenshots of my desktop and such?
It could, so while you're using it you should make sure you don't have anything sensitive onscreen.
If your desktop supports Wayland at all, you could switch to it while using Zoom, even if other things don't work as well, then switch back when you aren't.
Zoom does not work in wayland
ah wack, XWayland then? that should at least stop it from snooping on Wayland apps
