They too have their own OS called Pure/OS (Purism) The O/S is well supported as are their hardware. My favourite is the Librem line of phones and laptops. Hoping an open source cell phone system is ready for prime time Thanks for the reply. So from my side a huge thank you to this step the devs did take. And, surprisingly, still has a true menu bar One of the really great Gnome applications. But I can clearly recommend anyone to at least try using Evolution. And since there is no desktop integration anyway, it does not hurt at all to have it as an additional application. ![]() And I am so glad I did.Īnd those who want to use Thunderbird, well, it's easily being installed. So the logical choice was coming back to using Mate. XFCE is quite close to Mate, but lacking the calendar integration too. I cherished many things in Gnome, but in the end, when it comes down to productivity, nothing beats Mate-like desktops. For KDE the fact that KMail clearly loses against Evolution in terms of stability and ease of use.Īnd Gnome, well, it's Gnome. However, both had also their disadvantages. ![]() The lack of such an integration was the reason I had stopped using Mate before 20.04 got released, and tried KDE and Gnome. I am more than happy the Mate team chose Evolution as default, and I am even more happy about the calendar integration. Easy to migrate from Win to Linux with such a tool, as many use Outlook and don't want to lose their stuff. Was also a pain in the ass with Thunderbird, and not working without plugins (at least for contacts it was a pain). Plus, being able to create a new task while on the phone and the Evolution calendar opens up and I can directly enter it there, where it belongs.Īlso, Evolution seamlessly syncs with my ownCloud server for contacts and calendars. Such an integration is a big advantage and something Thunderbird has never been able to deliver. I use my machine for my daily work and when I get a phone call and the topic comes to my availability, a quick click on the panel is all it takes to see my upcoming appointments, and I can give the caller a response without having to switch my application. However, what was a key point for me to come back was the fact that Evolution now is integrated with the panel clock / calendar in Mate. Still on 20.04 LTS because it's critical for my work, but keeping an eye on the development and I like what I see. ![]() I am back using Ubuntu Mate after thoroughly testing other Ubuntu flavours.
