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.

Restore Thunderbird's previous look (apollo.town)

Thunderbird 115 introduced a new look. I hate it. Not only does it no longer fit in with KDE Plasma, it lost functionality due to it's new integrated search bar in the title bar.

So I went on a mission to fix it.

To restore the regular title bar:

Go into Settings > General > Language & Appereance and uncheck the Hide system window titlebar

To remove search bar:

Toggle toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Config Editor (bottom of Settings)

Find your profile directory via Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory (or about:profiles in same page)

This directory should have lots of files e.g. prefs.js and places.sqlite

Create directory chrome Inside that folder, create a file named userChrome.css with the below content:

#unifiedToolbar {
  display:none !important;
}

Restart Thunderbird

Enjoy!

I'm 23 and I cannot bear huge margins and rounded corners. They are ugly as hell, and the margins even take away a lot of usable space. I don't want to use a 7" phone just because of this shit.

When I started using Android (~7 years ago) the actual Material design was the thing. I liked it, and that is what I still like on mobile. Also it's clearly better than what was before that.
There were rounded corners, but they had a tasteful radius (2-3 dp in Android units), which I even liked more (and still do) than zero. Anything called "Material" after that is a lie, though, those have nothing to do with it, and mAtErIaL yOu is definitely not me; I read changelogs when updating apps, when I see there it seriously turns me down, and in cases I haven't updated ever since, because the app works totally fine in the last version that is not the ugliest thing I have seen.

I did not use the internet much in the early 2000s, but if I could I would much rather choose that design, even on my 5" phone, than today's rounded corners and huge margins.
