I use my Debian desktop for both work and personal uses. I have trouble with work-life balance, and I think segregating may help. I’m looking for tips on the best ways to accomplish this.

First thought is to create a user each for work and play, but I guess I’d want to somehow restrict applications to one or the other, and I do use some of the same. (Browser, IDE)

Second thought is to dual boot with an entirely unrelated install.

Is there a better way that I haven’t thought of?

    My company doesn’t have any access to my computer and installed nothing on it, but i agree with the sentiment.

        A client uses teams and we use zoom. I use both in the browser.

          that’s maybe not that bad then. but do know that websites can run HTTP requests against localhost and lan addresses, any ports, maybe WebRTC connections too. ublock has a built in list against that.
