From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thunderbird...or Betterbird? ...or Evolution? (lemmy.world)

Hi guys!

At this point it's been a while since I don't use a mail client, last time Evolution sorted my need of Activesync compatibility and I used it extensively. But these days I no longer need that, as I'm planning to use just protonmail and maybe also sync gmail to it (although for gmail I kinda prefer the web). Reading through the comments on the app I saw mentions about Betterbird...What's your thoughts on this?

I couldn't yet used to Evolution. Tried it and didn't like it. I really like Thunderbird and donate to them monthly. I've even embraced its RSS reader.

Is it a bit of a RAM-hogging, bloated mess? Yes, but eh, I've got 16 and 32 GB on my two machines. And it has everything I need. Let's me manage 5 or 6 email accounts for different businesses a perfectly.

They are making a lot of changes. We'll see how it ends up in a couple years.
