Apparently it’s a metadata bug, K9 shouldn’t be listed as Thunderbird. See comments ITT.

In F-Droid (not sure about Play or other app stores) K9 v8.0 (and above I guess) is now listed as Thunderbird Beta for Testers. I and possibly others thought that the K9 version of the app would keep it’s branding all the way through, including it’s listing name or title in various app stores. Perhaps it wont or perhaps it’s a listing error. We’ll see.

FYI this is from 2022 but is relevant because Thunderbird (and K9 v8) just landed in F-Droid (and other android package managers I guess but I haven’t checked).

The process of importing from K9 Mail worked without issue for me. There is also the option to import from desktop using a QR scanner (or some kind of scanner, again I didn’t go down that rabbit hole).

I wonder if this means SteamOS will never see general release.

Python is used extensively in Linux distributions and in some or a lot of cases for distribution package management. In order to avoid breaking your ‘externally managed’ system pip is warning you and providing an easy to use method for using it and any packages you install through it.

Perfect Christmas gift idea

I hope that floating navbar style doesn’t become mainstream. Distracting to the point of making me sick.

You mean like SELinux or other existing contributions to the linux kernel?

There may be any number of reasons why the disk is not an option. You may want to update your post body with the model of your computer in case someone has had a similar experience and can give you a heads up about what to do.

As a quick test you might want to flash another distribution image to the USB and see if that gives you the option to install to the system drive (you don’t have to install, just check if the option is available). It’s an easy way to find out if it’s a quirk of the distribution installer or something about your computer such as bios setting etc.

Are you trying to install while booted into Windows? If so that’s not how to install Linux from a bootable USB.

Drew DeVault noted the same in So you want to compete with or replace open source.

I think having ‘Open’ in the name muddies the waters a bit though. The full name almost makes the project sound anti open source, which it isn’t.

At first glance they seem to be. They could include ‘Do you agree?’ appended to them to make them more comprehensible. I didn’t create the survey nor am I involved in the project. Just following it’s progress. You could email Bruce to pass on your feedback.

This is a ban of those apps on work issued devices, not personal devices. I suspect there’s a range of reasons for doing this but I don’t think the apps being compromised is one of those reasons. Most likely the opposite, the apps work too well.

I think this is a limitation of Android that cannot be overcome.

What would make it better than NewPipe?

Aside from saving places what else can you do with google maps that can be exported?

The catch is it won’t happen I guess.

I would try a few Plasma based tiling scripts before switching to anything like Sway or i3. You’ll get a good idea of whether it’s for you. Later on if you find you need more control over the tiling you could switch to a dedicated tiling window manager.

I’m using Karousel in Plasma which is scrollable tiling. You can install and enable it like so:

Go to System Settings > Apps & Windows > Window Management > KWin Scripts > select Get New… > In search enter Karousel and wait for it to show up > select Install > select the latest version (as of now karousel-0-9-4.tar.gz).

There is a companion desktop effect that also needs to be installed like so:

Go to System Settings > Apps & Windows > Window Management > Desktop Effects > select Get New… > enter Geometry Change in search > select Install > select the latest version (as of now kwin4-effect-geometry-change-1.3.tar.gz).

Karousel and Geometry Change have configuration options and Karousel also has keyboard shortcuts (view here) which you may need to update to your liking. I don’t have a need to configure anything in Geometry Change as the default animation settings are fine. For Karousel I tend to adjust the various spacing and gaps options along with making sure the shortcuts I want are configured. That link above has a short video of what Karousel looks like in action.

I’ve recently retired an old aio to be our tv using libreelec. There’s a new-ish bundled skin called copacetic which is highly configurable and I’m slowly organising the interface to move away from the conventional menu style interface that most other skins still use to something more like the interface of a steaming service. Copacetic has a video that demos some of what you can do.

You can get Gentoo up and running pretty quickly by following the handbook. From memory it’s easy to miss one or two clear instructions because the styling of the handbook can add more eye-catching weight to the explanation than the actual commands. So be sure to re-read areas where things don’t seem to working out.

Gentoo also has a binary repo if you don’t plan to stray from whatever installation profile defaults you start off with.

I can’t confirm a simple server install of Gentoo is somehow more lean than any other distribution.

I’ve used gentoo-install with success previously although I don’t know how up to date it is.
