I’ll contrast your opinion by saying they look all terrible. I mean the basketball is funny but who wants to see that every day on their computer.

Because OP forgot a link, understandable with how they feel, here is the game on Steam

If I had an e-mail provider I’d be confident staying with for the next few decades, sure. But I don’t feel confident about it and it would just move my problem with old gmail e-mails to the next provider.

And the next provider may not have a “takeout” system. Since Proton has encryption you have to use their client? I remember hearing about Proton bridge to connect to other clients, and it was supposedly clunky.

Not convenient. My computer is actually a docked Steamdeck I only use occasionally in Desktop mode. I know lots of people will frown at that, but I do 99% of anything I do (aside from gaming), on my phone since a long time ago. For work I have a work laptop and I surely wouldn’t want to store my mails there.

So having Thunderbird on my Steamdeck for browsing old e-mails is just not convenient for me.

My small homeserver is part of a backup strategy, so putting something on it reachable via a webUI of some sort will also ensure all of that is backed up. Since my Steamdeck is mostly games and many saves are stored in the cloud automatically, I don’t back it up as much, not worth the effort.

Well this is it! Thanks, didn’t find that in my initial search.

Would that be simple to do though? Hope I am not starting yet another discussion thread about selfhosting e-mail, I know there are different views how hard/easy it is. I guess here its restricted to just the viewing part, which is maybe the easier bit.

Downside I see for this, I’d like to also be able to access this on my computer, where I use webmail only. So I got no client set up. Yes, can of course do this just for that use case, but its again something extra I don’t need otherwise. Also, on the phone I use Thunderbird, it seems to have an atrocious search function. So that wouldn’t feel great to use either.

But definitely a valid idea I didn’t consider, thanks!

I am running Fedora with KDE.

Nice! They either heard the feedback or quickly realised themselves how they should do more.

I swear to Glob, another one that compares this situation to eating food. We’ve had that in another thread already. You could compare it to watching a movie maybe, but how are you people always going for the food comparison?

The way I see it this is a guy who hasn’t been relevant in ages is still getting his words amplified about a studio that can’t do anything new since 2010 being shut down by a company that owns too much.

Truer words have never been spoken, especially the first part.

No. It is not at all like that. One is food the other is entertainment.

Thanks!

Sorry, what does CRM stand for?

Sorry, got nothing to add to your question. Good luck with the switch to Linux.

To everyone else: if you are still wondering why in 2026 it is still difficult for the average person to just “switch from Windows to Linux”, just read all the comments here. I mean, I guess mostly the ones that are not deleted yet.

It’s only one user so far.

Handling with class? They just tried to get away with something that clearly doesn’t work that way. You don’t make a product based on a known franchise without contacting the franchise owner about it.

You don’t, my wife bought one for me and she does not use Steam. However I don’t think she got a code but instead gave my email address and I got sent the code to use. No idea if there are other options for this though.

Controversial opinion and I say that as someone who started with Jellyfin and keeps that local Wifi only, so I admit a certain bias: going with Tailscale and Jellyfin over using Plex isn’t much better. Instead of enabling remote access via one company that wants to make money, you go via another company that wants to make money. How long is the free tier of Tailscale going to work out? How much do you trust them with your traffic? But I know it is a popular setup, so I am aware saying that here will not earn me any points.

I am just sitting here laughing over the fact that this is the very reason people hated on reddit. When reddit wouldn’t allow people to remove their helpful posts when they left, and everyone was outraged. But since we are not reddit here, it is of course a wholly different thing.

Don’t worry, I see my opinion is unpopular, so this is the last I say on this.
