Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail?

  • Awesome. I'll give mailsprint a try, thanks!

  • Right, I wasnt as clear as I should have.

    As of this second I have all 3 clients I mentioned fetching e-mails while they're open. However none of them fetch e-mails in the background, and geary/evolution seem to just... break sometimes and I have to redo the process to add business gmail/proton accounts to it.

    My main issue is the fetching e-mails in the background though, it doesnt feel to me as if it should be something that difficult or niche.

    Weird.

  • I can get the clients to fetch the e-mail atm, the issue is what I wrote above, is there a simple way to get thunderbird to fetch them from the moment I turn the pc on and give me notifications about it?

  • Install Plex Radarr Sonarr and Jackett.

    Select jackett as the indexer for both sonarr and Radarr.

    Select your torrent program as the main torrent program for both radarr and sonarr.

    Point the Plex library to whatever folder you selected to use on Radarr and Sonarr.

    And that's it.

    It's a game where some people play good guys some people play bad guys. And every day someone is put up for trial and you have to convince everyone you are a good guy so you don't get hanged.

    So. I was put for trial and made a very laboured argument of why I had to be a good guy and shouldn't be hanged.

    Someone replied "Fake and gay".

    And they hung me. I was a dead bad guy.

  • It would be easier if you told us specifically what programs you need that aren't supported.

    • Basic fonts

    "I love windows" is a phrase only uttered by the truly deranged. But if you love it you love it.

    • What's new in Fedora Workstation 39

    Jump

  • if a distro becomes really really popular is inevitable that sooner or later some kind of corporation will put it’s hands on it.

    Not how it works. And more so in general if you're interested and curious do some reading on copyleft licenses. It's truly a marvelous thing and they work quite well at keeping projects open.

    I know Fedora is mostly just Gnome, but you can’t deny it’s probably the best implementation of it in any distro.

    I absolutely can, what. It's about the same as all other distros that don't add much or at all to the upstream version.

    And Arch is definitely not easy to install for a newbie.

    If you are interested in trying it some time, once you're in the installer type "archinstall". It's a default installation script that makes it easy to install. There isn't nearly as much upkeep as the memes would suggest.

    • What's new in Fedora Workstation 39

    Jump

  • I’ve been using Fedora for months now and it was my first time using Linux. Is probably the most modern and best working distro right now.

    I'm not gonna suggest to you to switch distros or whatever. But most of the modern feeling you are seeing is just the DE, which you can use whichever one with whatever distro. As far as Fedora's own stack the centerpiece which is the package manager is actually really slow comparing with anything else.

    You think Arch or Mint wouldn’t become just like Red Hat if they had the user’s numbers?

    Yeah. They wouldn't. I think they actually already do have higher number of users than fedora actually. If they don't, then Debian surely does.

    Red Hat is a for profit company, and their first goal will always be that even if that means squeezing you and making the experience worse for you.

    Community distros are explicitly about the community and not about profit, and it works quite well.
