From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there an easy way to set up an email client so you get system notifications in GNOME once you receive an e-mail? (lemmy.ml)

As simple as the title sounds I'm having huge trouble getting that working.

Thunderbird only fetches new mail while it's open.

Who the heck knows how to get evolution/geary to play nice with business gmail/protonmail.

Does anyone have a simple way of solving this problem?

edit. Also, somewhat related, is there a good looking, simple e-mail client? Thunderbird looks busy. Geary kinda looks okay but I cant get it to work at all.

I honestly don't understand how anyone uses it, it's just about the fastest I've ever uninstalled an application.
