It’s great for emails on account’s where they know you, like banks and doctors offices. It also lets you make em up on the fly instead of using the site or app. I’ve never had spam issues, but it does make the email less anonymous. So it’s a situational thing, but nice to just use [email protected] when at the dentist or whatever.
Just out of curiosity, why not just go full Linux and use a Windows VM? Using a debloater (this is my favorite: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat) makes the windows VM run very well. Plus you limit the extent Microsoft is able analyze and track you. Additionally, this also works around the VPN connection issue currently on going with Windows.
