Email client recommendations are welcome, I've recently stopped using Thunderbird after using it since 2005, since the new interface is so broken, what with search not properly working and it's spamming alerts if you tie it to a Gmail.

Trying #Tokodon for desktop use
hey #fediverse people using #mastodon on underpowered machines, what is your client of choice?
I'm on a #SurfaceGo with a Pentium Gold running #Fedora with #KDE and think that maybe someone here has a recommendation for something more lightweight than the default web client.
Keep quick notes by dragging text to an empty spot on your KDE Plasma desktop — instant sticky notes without installing anything! Works great with Firefox (some apps may not). Fast, handy demo to boost your workflow — give it a try! #KDE #Plasma #Linux #Productivity #Desktop #Tips #OpenSource #English

I have no words to express how good is the combo of #alpine #linux and #cosmic desktop (the one from System76).
This is a mind blowing experience; it feels so great to use a _modern_ environment, even if running on an "old" machine.
For context: I've been using #ArchLinux + #KDE Plasma for almost 7 years without interruption. This is not my first rodeo with Linux, I've been here since 1998-ish.

My son bought a second-hand Windows 11 PC for games, and has been having BSOD issues with the graphics card since he got it. Out of desperation he tried installing Bazzite on it, which I encouraged, but was also trying not to get his hopes up, telling him that the some things might not work. But he reports that "absolutely everything works better than Windows".
I suggested he use KDE for the desktop, and he is blown away about how good everything looks, and how easy the user experience is. He has used Linux for a bit probably 7 or 8 years ago when he used a salvaged laptop at uni that had Ubuntu on it, and he remembers that being a bit janky and frustrating, but now he's decided that he'll wipe the Windows partition and stay with Linux.
So keep it up, clever people that are making Linux distros and software, you're winning.

@esparta Love this! Have been a COSMIC admirer from the sidelines for a while.
@nshki well, rumors are true. #cosmic is great, ain't perfect and it takes a little time to get used to some things as the resizing of windows, but besides that cosmic have anything to ask to the other desktops.
For me it was an experimental situation. I was testing #alpinelinux for a replacement of #archlinux in my computers - I had it planned since at least 2023. I asked myself "why not? Let's try #cosmic", it seems it will replace #kde.

Here is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource news video!
In this one, we have #GNOME 50 getting a massive beta, more progress on GNOME OS, the release of #KDE Plasma 6.6, and KDE debunking some FUD around their use of SystemD, the EU taking aim at infinite scrolling, and a lot more!
