Not by default

Oh it's so much worse than a FIM.

They want a rootkit with RCE

I think that depends entirely on whether opt-in is legally required in a given jurisdiction but they’ll certainly try and use every dark pattern in their arsenal to do so.

The definitions are always behind, and custom sources are still behind. The configuration sucks and that’s from a NixOS user. The IO latency is atrocious when set to watching the filesystem, and it’s generally unwieldy. The clamscan/clamdscan separation doesn’t make sense either. And it’s slow as hell parsing definitions.

I unironically use PowerShell on Linux. It's the only shell with sensible key bindings.

No, I mean when you install android it doesn't include the evil google blobs by default. You have to do that as an additional step.

I know a grad student that does. Compiles it from source themself.

I guess to each their own. I am so used to getting bash (emacs) keybindings in macos that it drives me crazy that they don't work in KDE and Xwayland apps.

I didn’t realize businesses used Linux. Every place I’ve worked it’s been windows and Chrome/Edge.

I've used the web version of teams. Is the wrapper any different?

There's an unofficial Teams flatpak or just use web. I use Thundebird for Outlook. For some reason Outlook refuses to work on my Firefox, so I use Vivaldi for that too. OneDrive is fucked, but there is an Rclone integration if you can convince your workplace to give you the correct API permissions. I have unfortunately not.

Not really imo

It's mostly Windows of course. But some people in those companies may prefer to use Linux, and this gives a them a higher chance of being allowed to do so. I for one am running Linux in a company that's increasingly pushing for Microsoft stuff.

see for work it makes sense because you hopefully don't do personal stuff on that computer, there's no hope of privacy on a work computer.

Why do we need defender if red hat exists?

It'll most likely be used immutables more than anything. Which is shit for me because I fucking love Ubuntu.

See I am the key to bad things happening!!!! (I'm kidding I'm not special)

I switch to Ubuntu because windows slows down my ram speed and then windows goes and adds its security into it and makes it so that they're part of the OS no matter what.

What does Red Hat have to do with an anti virus?

ah the tech onion

I haven't been into linux since 2008 so forgive me on this one if I seem ignorant but isn't there redhat security and isn't that basically the same exact thing as defender except you just pay for it? Like isn't there redhat network security or some shit like that? So if linux already has a somewhat legacy security, why do we need to add microslop defender on top of it?

It's basically chromium running the web version, but it appears as though it's a stand alone app. At least that's how it worked for the couple of Teams for Linux and Outlook for Linux apps I tried. I used this as part of a contract gig for about 2 years on Ubuntu machine.

Can you send files through the chat? It's not an option in the web version.

No, Red Hat for the most part is not in the security game. There is OpenSCAP. Red Hat OpenShift does have Advanced Cluster Security available. But generally no Red Hat doesn't make security products like that. I guess maybe the closest would be using Satellite to manage clients and see their compliance. I don't know if Satellite can measure OpenSCAP compliance... Yes, there is a lot of security built in, but no they don't really do many explicitly security products.

Lolno. Not happening on any of my machines.

Thank you for teaching me something new. 😁

I feel like I had posted screen shots through it a couple times. This was about 2-3 years ago and I may be misremembering. If you can't do that via web, then I'd not expect it to work unless I was using a Teams for Linux that wasn't a web wrapper, but I thought they all were web wrappers on Linux.
