An Alpine user, cool! What is it like to use it as your primary desktop OS? I have only played around with it on servers or in VMs and containers.
Paru > yay
On Arch I don’t need any, I just run paru
without any options, which by default invokes a full Pacman update, as well as updating all AUR packages. But I have a system maintenance script, that, besides doing some other stuff that’s specific to my system, runs paru -Sc --noconfirm
to clean the Pacman package cache, and delete unneeded cloned AUR Git repos and build artifacts.
It’s impressive how many things can be achieved with nothing more than the power of open source software
I think Avalonia is pretty great for C# cross-platform UI stuff. JetBrains Rider is the best C# IDE on Linux.
Nothing about the program itself is subscription based. All of the normal features of an email client (that you would also find in Thunderbird) are available for free. You only need to pay if you want to use their services like Send later, read receipts or link tracking, because these requires backend servers and actually costs the money.
Thunderbird is the best IMO. Mailspring is also pretty good.
