Why wouldn’t you just change the settings on your monitor? Seems much easier.

Why does a phone go to “the shop”?


That’s a solid plan.
If you want a deeper dive, just make some stuff in Thunderbird, then export and view it. It’ll give you a bit of a look into how email standards servers organize data.


Never had an issue. You may want to turn off all of the bells and whistles that cause it to spike CPU when idle though, that might help.
Settings > Library > Enable ‘Low Performance Mode’
Hit ESC during boot and watch the boot logs to see what’s hanging. Some systemd service is taking awhile and doesn’t have a sensible timeout. Probably network.


No shit
You sure it was showing the bootloader and not just kicking you back to your login screen?
Check your fans and run a temp monitor


I may not have my editors straight here, but isn’t this a mostly abandoned project that has a small user base anyway?
Just like all the rest, it’s a remotely operated pile of garbage that can’t do a damn thing.
Oh wait…they made it jog for some reason. Battery lasts for 20 minutes while walking, so jogging it’s going to get a few doors down and fall over.


Very first thing: see if the Nvidia driver is actually loading properly by running nvidia-smi and see what it says.
You may have the Nouveau driver loaded instead, which you can check with: lsmod | grep nouv

Steam Deck runs Arch at its core. The distro has nothing to do with it.
How you have Steam installed might though. Do you have it installed via Flatpak by chance?


Labels/Tags are a product feature, not part of email standards. Meaning: it’s not a thing when looking at the raw mail server data.
Each product handles this in their own way, and the tool being used to export your mail from one host/product to another would be what is handling that, if at all. Gmail probably just uses folders because that is part of the structure a mail server would have.
I believe Proton’s import tools handles this correctly from Gmail using both labels as folders and preserving tags, but I believe Thunderbird just puts them in folders as is standard.
You can double check by looking at the raw data exported from any mail service. You could probably easily write a quick script to handle getting tag info and applying it yourself, though it could be quite slow.


It might be better to first learn about existing package managers: build some packages for rpm, apt, pac…etc.
The fundamentals would be easier to understand from there to figure out what you actually want to write and why.
At their core, packages are simply just bundles of flat files, and stages of scripts that get executed. That’s it. Like a zip file with scripts.
Package Managers on the other hand are just clients that deal with the metadata and contents of packages and decide what to do with them. They go way deeper.



Good point!
