  • It’s really more of a proxy setup that I’m looking for. With thunderbird, you can get what I’m describing for a single client. But if I want to have access to those emails from several clients, there needs to be a shared server to access.

    docker-mbsync might be a component I could use, but doesn’t sound like there’s a ready-made solution for this today.




  • Yeah, I don’t fully understand why Nvidia cards have this problem on first setup with so many distros. On Windows, the default display driver can at least boot with reduced resolution on most cards made in the last 15 years until you install proper drivers. It seems like the Linux kernel and common desktop environments ought to be able to do the same.

    Maybe this is better in the 6.x kernel, I haven’t tried it. I’m not too much of a tinkerer, so the bleeding edge doesn’t interest me. I just want a good shell, POSIX for personal coding projects, and the ability to play games on Steam. Mint is great for that once you get past the initial display driver issues.





  • Updated to be specific, I’m using Cinnamon. Muffin is the builtin tiling window manager for Cinnamon and it does exactly what you’re describing. The problem is that it moves tiles, it doesn’t absolutely position them. You have to keep moving tiles around to get them where you want them, Rectangle just has hotkeys to immediately place and resize to fit the active window for each quadrant that it supports:

    • ctrl+cmd+left: top left quadrant
    • ctrl+cmd+right: top left quadrant
    • shift+ctrl+cmd+left: bottom left quadrant
    • shift+ctrl+cmd+right: bottom left quadrant
    • alt+cmd+left: left half
    • alt+cmd+right: right half
    • alt+cmd+up: top half
    • alt+cmd+left: bottom half
    • alt+cmd+f: full screen

    It’s hard to express how natural that feels after using it for a bit, and I’m still using a Macbook for work so the muscle memory is not going away.
