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.

I tried Thunderbird but it's got a lot going for it. I just want something simple and minimal

Preferably a native app rather than something built with electron

I use Arch Linux

This doesn't really answer your question, but you may want to consider hanging on to Thunderbird given massive UI upgrade that's coming very soon for it: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/07/our-fastest-most-beautiful-release-ever-thunderbird-115-supernova-is-here/

It’s released already, just not in flathub yet.

[–] __lb__@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Ooooh. That looks good. It’s going to take a while to get used to a new Firefox design after using the same ui for 15 years 😅

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank goodness you told us you use Arch

[–] inex@feddit.de -1 points 1 year ago

I'm happy with Evolution.

If you have a Qt based desktop (KDE, LXQt...) use Kmail.
If you have a GTK based desktop (Gnome, XFCE...) use Geary.

dont use kmail. it has great function-ability and looks good, but it will completely break every year at least

The upcoming (recently released) thunderbird version might be what you're looking for! It's not yet in most official repos though.

I really like thunderbird so far, thank you for the suggestion, is there a way to get email notifications even while the client is closed tho? seems like I only get notifications if I keep it perma open.

It is available on snap in the beta channel if you want it through a package

He said he’s using Arch so it should be available. I got it on my EndeavourOS and I’m really satisfied.

[–] words_number@programming.dev -1 points 1 year ago

Oh I missed that he's using arch. In that case, he can install it from AUR, possibly building it himself, followed by only a few hours of troubleshooting what broke in his system after doing that :-P

ive been using mailspring, pretty happy with it.

[–] nakal@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago

What do you mean? Thunderbird is the default mail application on Windows for me. I didn't even know there is something else.

  • built with electron

Didn't you read the ToS? Those words are considered as hate speech in every Linux communities.

Try Neomutt.
