It has a structured yaml with a test command for potentially destructive config changes over ssh. Other than that: none. It was a real pain upgrading some servers, as always with Ubuntu.
It literally has no benefits, and is only a pain to use.
Actually, it does have one benefit: it integrates with Canonical’s other tech. For example, MAAS uses ot for networking, and I bet lxc uses it somehow.
I don’t know much about Gmail but I’m quite certain, that you only have to enable IMAP/SMTP in Gmail settings.
protonmail.
Install the Proton Mail Bridge and connect to the IMAP/SMTP server on localhost (ports 1143 and 1025).
Does anyone have a simple way of solving this problem?
I had only minor problems getting the above to work. Anyway., for Protonmail there is ElectronMail. It’s available as Flatpak too and it minimizes/starts to tray.
I can get the clients to fetch the e-mail atm, the issue is what I wrote above, is there a simple way to get thunderbird to fetch them from the moment I turn the pc on and give me notifications about it?

Sure. You can autostart Thunderbird and keep it open but I haven’t found a way, where Thunderbird closes/starts to the tray and for some odd reasons the developers seem to think that users do not need this functionality which makes the whole email client unusable for a large part of the potential user base.

Who the heck knows how to get evolution/geary to play nice with business gmail/protonmail.
As of this second I have all 3 clients I mentioned fetching e-mails while they’re open. However none of them fetch e-mails in the background, and geary/evolution seem to just… break sometimes and I have to redo the process to add business gmail/proton accounts to it.
My main issue is the fetching e-mails in the background though, it doesnt feel to me as if it should be something that difficult or niche.
That’s weird. I run Geary myself for a couple off accounts and so far it does the job perfectly and without hiccups.
Anyway. You may try birdtray as written in one of the other comments but I’m pretty sure I tried it at least once and for some reasons wasn’t convinced. YMMW
Yes. If it helps: I run it under Gnome. Maybe you need some extra service running?! I just checked and on my machine - in addition to Geary - there is the evolution-data-server running among others (evolution-source-registry, evolution-alarm-notify, evolution-calendar-factory, evolution-addressbook-factory).
Birdtray might be what you’re looking for. I’ve only used it on windows, but for me it gets thunderbird out of the way but able to be checked and used immediately.
I really want to use wayland - and even though maybe I shouldn’t I still do on my laptop - but man… on Plasma 5 that thing is borked. And I’m not even running on NVIDIA.
Whenever the system wakes up from sleep or an external display reconnects all open windows are gone and the system enters a weird state which forces me to reboot. How was “all windows are lost when the compositor crashes” not something fixed in the early days, is beyond me. That must make even developing for Wayland unnecessarily difficult/annoying.
In addition to the basic hardware care (checking for dust, reapplying thermal compound if necessary) you can run powertop to check what is keeping your CPU awake when it shouldn’t and take steps to purge unneeded services or resource-heavy applications.
The issue isn’t with Linux directly so any distro you use will do the same.
It could be a hardware issue that the machine is not dissipating heat.
Or it could be that you need some kind of driver/controller software for fan. It sounds like the system isn’t properly controlling the fan. It leaves it low when it doesn’t defect usage but when it does, instead of increasing the fan a little bit at a time, it just goes full tilt to be safe. It probably cannot read the temperature sensors and so has no idea whether your need cooling or not.
I don’t know the answer but do some googling around system temperature reading on that model and see if there is a module you need to install.
How do you mean that its overheating? My GF says the same about her laptop, but its just cooling itself off. Does yours freeze or start slowing down a lot? Are you monitoring temps and see that they’re beyond your CPU acceptable range (usually 90C, IIRC)?
Can you hear your laptop's fan speed up when it's overheating? Linux on my old laptop couldn't control the fan speed so it was always overheating. When I figured out how to manually set it to maximum, it overheated much less.
If you are seeing temps out of spec for your CPU, its not unheard of for thermal paste to dry or even shift if the laptop has been through some chassis strain. Could be worth a careful examination.
In case you haven’t seen it already - 3mdeb shared some info on the state of things during last FOSDEM. If I’m not mistaken they also did an update the year before too.
I know of exactly 1 AMD corebooot laptop. Starlabs Starfighter.
For coreboot you’re basically on Intel. As others mentioned, look up dasharo. They have added support for two modern MSI motherboards and Intel cpu models.
Depending on your skill level, it might be worth opening it and checking the internals. Cooling system works, airflow not obstructed, etc. Probably also worth checking the thermal compound of the processor. But that’s not something a beginner would be happy to try. Maybe take it to a repair cafe, if there’s one near you?
Honestly the best thing you can do is to remove and reapply thermal paste to the CPU / GPU. Go for something with a high thermal conductivity. There are plenty of videos online on reapplying thermal paste and that will definitely cool off your laptop when done correctly as it increases heat transfer to your heat sinks and fans.
