Cool, I just installed Thunderbird and am giving it a go.

I would totally read that book
I’m all for getting into old school tech, I even like to browse neocities.org on occasion just for the hit of nostalgia for the old web rings. I never got into newsgroups though, and I’m wondering what reasons you might use that instead of something like Lemmy, Mastodon etc?
Apart from the piracy side, I know all about that already lol
This is fucking amazing
I like the idea of calling it ex-twitter. I came up with the idea when I was having a shower… Hang on… there’s a community for that! brb
I looked for a lazy way to get myself a Tux sticker and found this pack of stickers for $1

Bargain!
Oh that’s interesting, exposing kids to it is a great idea because then they won’t have the whole barrier of the ‘fear of the unknown’ when considering installing it on their own PC. Thanks for sharing!
I would like to see a breakdown of useage by region. For example I found stats that said India’s share of linux users rose from 9% in May to 15% in July. That’s quite a sharp increase in only 2 months! With a population of over 1 billion people, I’m betting this rise would have a significant increase in global stats, so I wonder what is behind it…

What do you mean by ‘normal’ package management?
What problems does the AUR create? I just install using yay, and it mostly works fine
Just to chime in, I first tried arch because some youtuber I followed recommended it, but after 5 years I would say I’ve stayed with it for the AUR and the community. The AUR has almost every app I’ve ever needed, and whenever I have a problem there’s always a solution on one forum or another, to the point where I can usually just copy and paste it into the terminal and it’s solved!
been with windscribe for 5 years now on arch, it works great. There’s only a CLI app but it works fine
Wow thanks that’s the best breakdown I’ve read! I’ve been torrenting for maybe 15 years and used to collect all the shows I watched until one day my external hard drive died and I lost everything :(
Nowadays I just delete a show after I’ve watched it, so Idon’t think I’ll worry about making my own server yet. I’ve had a look into it and think I’ll start off with NZB Geek as indexer and Frugal Usenet as a server. Drunken Slug seems pretty popular too but they don’t seem to be open for registrations atm
Can you recommend any good walk-throughs for noobs? I didn’t even know you needed a server lol
I’ve looked into doing that myself before, but it seemed like a lot of work and research to get it set up
What am I missing in the “end Kernel panic” one?
