Isn’t dd a third party software?

Which version do you use with which OS? As a GNOME user I don’t need it, but I’m pretty sure Thunderbird has a system tray.

Thunderbird is great. But if you don’t like it only because of Mozilla (the interface is customizable so that’s not an argument) there is a fork which does almost everything like Thunderbird, is slightly better on some points, and slightly worse on some others, called Betterbird. It has in my point of view no interesting point, but it’s not Mozilla.

Pe is the true way.

“Companion softwares” for hardware are the only thing that still makes me use my Windows VM. In my case it’s my children’s educative computers which need a real computer to add content.

Proton has not gone rogue.

Like all others, as it’s a legal obligation. But they can’t give a lot more, as the mail themselves are encrypted.

Oh yes,.and it works quite well. They even had Firefox for a few months.

Why not simply Debian + LXDE + flathub?

That’s unironically why I like Manjaro 😅

They are probably like me, thinking that the year 2000 was 10 years ago.
