  • The menus are definitely busy and confusing (there are many options), but once it’s set up I’ve never been bothered by the UI. I quite like how emails are shown OOTB in fact, with the right padding and day separation; I also use most buttons that are offered by default. So yeah, sane defaults.

    Off the top of my head what I like:

    • you can search emails on the server! That’s the one feature I couldn’t forgo
    • it detects unsubscribe links
    • I remember having delays when using K9, with FairEmail not once. This could be fixed now
    • it cleverly shows you’re connected to a VPN (which can be a problem with emails)
    • maybe too many options, but a lot are actually useful

    Not trying to say it’s better, to each their own. But it’s great.

    edit: I received an email at 06:19 in fairemail. it’s now 06:56 and I just received it in thunderbird




  • This is what I’ve been missing the most since switching to Wayland.

    I was testing again yesterday, on Fedora mainly.

    lan-mouse is a bit clunky. It requires too many clicks to start on Gnome. bi-directional. Couldn’t get it to work on NixOS but I’m new to it.

    Input leap can be finicky to install and set up too, depending on your system. For some reason on my setup it lags a lot, and from time to time I have to reconnect. They don’t give an easy access to builds, but you can find them. It requires to be connected with a GitHub account though.




  • Lenovo Explorer. I don’t play VR games really, but it’s fun when my little nephews visit (the A770 handles simple games like Beat Saber well). Outer Wilds in VR seemed like a good time to dust of the headset but it’s a bit too stuttery. I didn’t look for any type of fix or optimization though.

    But if you’re serious about VR gaming Intel Arc is not a good idea for now. However on /r/intelarc some report good results, saying it varies from game to game.
