I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Thanks man, I've installed thunderbird as well, is there any other preferred mailing client ?

>>58494882
>mailing client

idk I use webmail only.

other tip: install Level 5 updates. Mint is misleading about them being "risky". They are USUALLY only dangerous to your system if you are using weird proprietary drivers

Get some VLC up in that motherfucker.

Yeahh boii

also, does anyone know why thunderbird isn't liking my outlook 365 credentials? (they are correct tripple checked them)?

Perhaps the server settings need tweaking.

Also, use Riseup or Disroot. Fuck Micro$haft.
