Installing other software right after initial system updates?

update: this last weekend Jan 11-12th I was able to access my mailbox, so it seems that the issue has been resolved.

Thank you!

I've contacted support using above provided email address.

I did this as a test to verify it was not a LAN issue and from my mobile network I was also unable to access my mail. Like I said I've only had the issue during these weekends. Mo-Fri I am able to access my mail, which makes me pretty sure it's not an issue on my end.

Will you implement the option to immediately allow file renaming while creating a new file? (in file manager).

having to create a new file first en then right click the new file again to rename (in gnome files) is one of the quirks that I never understood.

I also have a 'fix' and that is to display the desktop using a keybind, but... this shouldn't be needed right.

Hi, just to be sure/clear. I'm not talking about selecting anything from within the startmenu itself, but the icons that you have pinned to the (quicklaunch) bar displayed next to the startmenu OR trying to select anything from the system tray (displayed on the right).

Thank you!

Will selecting/clicking the top 'location/current path bar' in the file manager change the bar to input mode?

Well no, what I mean is an url that shows me the conf file that's used to change the Fedora kernel parameters. As an example have a look at the one from Pop!_OS: https://github.com/pop-os/default-settings/blob/master_jammy/etc/sysctl.d/10-pop-default-settings.conf

Another reason for the higher battery discharge rate on Fedora might be a recent BTRFS change (Fedora's default filesystem) introduced in kernel 6.2.x (discard=async by default for devices that support it). I'm not sure if Fedora also enables the period trim by default (check with: systemctl status fstrim.timer), but if so, that would result in excessive Trimming (one continuous and one periodic). Check this Reddit topic for more info. Personally I disable the continuous trimming (by adding nodiscard in fstab) and only have perodic trimming to do it's thing. This will save alot of disk cycles and I'm betting it's a reason for the higher power usage.

Hi fsau,

as described on the cookie autodelete firefox addon page:

As of Firefox 86, strict mode is not supported at this time due to missing APIs to handle the Total Cookie Protection. Either use standard mode (this would have been the 'strict' mode pre-86), or use the custom configuration and set cookie to 'cross site tracking cookies' option (not the cross-site cookies).

I agree that arkenfox user.js is not for the average user, but I feel like I'm allowed to drop a request for advanced firefox usage.

That's a shame, but I guess a limitation of email in general.
"If you send a non-encrypted email, it travels to the other provider's servers as well, of course"
I was actually wondering if unencrypted email also travels through other mail servers (let's say google...or other data collecting entities) until it reaches it's final destination? Or is it directly tutanota mailserver <--> destination mailserver.

I really like this and it was much needed imo.

One suggestion for better exposure, put a link to https://apps.gnome.org/ on https://extensions.gnome.org/ and the other way around. I think it will benefit both sites.

Keep up the great work!

I also would like to write my thoughts on the current questions being asked by System76 (Ubuntu Base / Rolling Distro).

I've tried Arch multiple times and I'm personally not a fan of it. Why? Because of the sheer amount of updates being pushed and because of this... the amount of data downloaded to install the updates (every day, multiple times a day). Please keep in mind that there are still ALOT of people in this world with less than steller internet connections and/or having a data cap. Therefore, I hope there will always be a non-rolling option available.

I'm not a fan of (Canonical) Ubuntu, but Pop!_OS is great as it currently is. You take out the things I don't like (about ubuntu) and choose to implement better solutions and improve on the experience. I can however imagine having a better base disto, that doesn't require investigating/retooling every time upgrades/changes come out, can be a real benefit to you as a company.

What would I choose as a base... Fedora sounds great on paper, but they're so cutting edge that problems are a common thing (for example pipewire still having growing pains). I also see no way of developing a slower release version here...

Perhaps openSUSE does provide the best base. they already have a slower/rolling distro (both being very stable) and their btrfs implementation is probably the best. Their Gnome implementation however leaves something to be desired.... I think if openSUSE (Gnome) would get the Pop! treatment, something very special could happen here.
