- reitanqild 10y agoThanks! Still feel it is really hard to understand what kind of Desktop Environment it is. I get that it is built on Gnome technologies but is it like gnome2/mate or like gnome3 or something completely different?
- type0 10y agoIt is more like Cinnamon in a sense that it's built on GNOME3 stuff but arguably simpler and suitable for new users. It's not as customizable like MATE.
- cuu508 10y agoLooks like it's Ubuntu with a bunch more apps pre-installed. After a fresh install I usually start with removing the apps I don't use -- games, accessibility tools, print drivers, cd burner, document indexer, default email client etc. etc. etc. So I guess this flavor would be the opposite of what I want...
- dabber 10y agoNot a Thunderbird fan? What's your preferred mail client? I'm looking for something else; I've got my eye on Claws and Evolution but haven't started to play around with anything yet.
- shanemhansen 10y agoI've been using evolution for the last few years. It has a EWS (exchange web services) client that works really well for me at $BigCorp. I think I've had one or two crashes total, compared to outlook which crashes almost daily. Prior to that I used gmail. When I used thunderbird it often seemed to spend all of it's time indexing. It has some nice plugins though.
- dabber 10y agoThanks for the reply, I think it's finally time I give evolution a shot.
