Any...

I use KDE. Some use GNOME. Most other options are probably to be left out as X11 is unsafe....

Just recently started using thunderbird to see how it would help managing múltiple Gmail accounts. Has anybody used the app version? Is it good? Bad?

I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it’s been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community.

Ths might be a silly question, but asking those is how i learn sometimes. I’m trying to install my first Linux distro to set up a Plex server and one of the few things I know is you need a wired internet connection.
