    Sleep/Wake issues

    I’ve had plenty of sleep/wake issues on Linux, including on my current setup which is Bazzite (based on Fedora, which the author uses). Currently on Bazzite, some things don’t restart correctly after a reboot (specifically Gnome tweaks and OpenRGB). Not the worst issue but still annoying.

    This is the default behavior on macOS

    A desktop operating system needs to come with a solid, serviceable email client. I consider this non-optional.

    The only truly useful email client I’ve used is the default macOS one. I am actively taking suggestions for Linux. I tried one called Evolution I think? It was ok but didn’t support all my different email providers. I tried Thunderbird but it baffles me that I can’t view an email and have the list of emails open on the side.

    I honestly think the author might have a better time with macOS. Not that they would prefer it over Linux, but a lot of what they complain about is better on Mac.

    Whenever I experienced a short stretch of time where I felt “perhaps this isn’t so bad?”, one (or multiple) of the problems and issues described above would snap me out of it.

    This was my experience trying to switch to Linux until very recently (until I started using Bazzite). Even now I still regularly have issues I need to debug, but it’s much, much more stable than previous distros I tried.

      I also cant use deepsleep with linux, suspend ro ram or disk doesnt work well and my pc will hang but i can live with this since i never had anny other issues with endeavoros. Being in charge of when and how updates happen and how fast they install is enough to never go back to winodws. I just need freecad to become good.

      You can do that. That is how I use thunderbird.

      I don’t remember if I had to change the default config, but I think it comes like that, no? Anyways, if not, it’s probably an easy setting somewhere to get it how you like.

        My latest version of Thunderbird comes with the far right side panel being used to read email, the center panel a list, and the left is my boxes.
