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.

He said he’s using Arch so it should be available. I got it on my EndeavourOS and I’m really satisfied.
Oh I missed that he's using arch. In that case, he can install it from AUR, possibly building it himself, followed by only a few hours of troubleshooting what broke in his system after doing that :-P
What are you talking about? It’s trivial to install a new app. One command, no reboot.
sudo pacman -S thunderbirdliterally effortless.Yup. Because it's in the main repos. Though with all the hype around it, I felt kinda disappointed with it. For me, it didnt follow the typical 3 column layout, and opened the actual email under the list of emails, rather than next to it.
You can adjust that, just so you know. It’s configurable!
Yeah, I couldn't find how, and I'm no longer on Arch (unrelated), thanks anyways.
