How are you running Windows only applications on your Linux ThinkPad?
I'm using virtualbox on my x220, of I really need windows. However, if you setup a VM from scratch anyway, I would rather go with KVM/QEMU and maybe even try https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary, to launch the windows programms directly under Linux, with the VM running "in the background".

Thinking of purchasing a 4080 laptop and replacing W11 with KDE plasma
Overall, don't be afraid to switch distro (use Ventoy, load a few ISOs just in case), try to make sure you have an easy way of backing up your stuff (be it with a separate /home partition, or like I do with storing everything important in a separate drive and then using symlink to make it 'appear' in their 'default' places), and you can always use VM in a pinch (consult this guide or use quickemu or gnome-boxes)

Wanting to ditch windows 10 in favor of linux
In case some things you do absolutely needs Windows, keep this guide for setting up VM in mind, or use quickemu's GUI.

Thinking about switching my SP8 to linux, but I have a few questions.
How are integrated VM solutions like cassowary on the surface pro? I need to run OneNote (this is a must as I am set all work on OneNote) to a decent level, with pen support.

Is MS office a big driver of people moving to Linux?
Well, if I actually need office 365 for collaborating with someone, I use https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary to actually run the Office Suite in a Windows VM and have it seeminglessly integrated into Linux.

MicroOS Distrobox questions
Microsoft Office run in a Windows VM and integrated into Linux via Cassowary (https://github.com/casualsnek/cassowary). This requires installing libvirt and virt-manager in a rootful Distrobox (apparently Distrobox supports this only for Alma Linux and Tumbleweed, so the default Tumbleweed guest should be okay as long as you can run it with root) and installing the Python application Cassowary ("pip install cassowary") that then "finds" Microsoft Office in the VM and integrates it via FreeRDP so that you can for example click on an XLSX file in Dolphin and it opens in MS Excel running in the VM. Can this approach still work all in a Distrobox? So that basically I click on an XLSX file and it then opens in MS Excel running in the Windows VM in the Distrobox via Cassowary in the Distrobox? There's a lot of layers here, namely: MicroOS -> Distrobox -> [Cassowary + FreeRDP + Virt-Manager + libvirt] -> Windows VM -> MS Office, and I wonder if this would even work.

New to Manjaro… any advice?
Imo QEMU/KVM has better performance than VirtualBox. There are also some tools like Cassowary to make Windows apps run as if they're native apps (e.g. without opening VM first). It's harder to setup than VirtualBox, though.

Looking to switch from Windows 11 to Linux. Is anyone running Steam OS on their Desktop or what is the most stable with an Intel/Nvidia build?
If you need to use complex Windows-only programs, use the KVM with GPU passthrough and cassowary. If it's reported to be working fine by the Wine's AppDB, you may want to use wine flatpak.

What Is Wrong with Enterprise Linux
I fully agree, moreover this:
> Rolling release distributions like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed follow upstream much more closely while still maintaining stability through thorough automated testing
Shows the author hasn't used Tumbleweed for any reasonable amount of time himself[0][1][2]. I daily drove it for a short while before moving to Fedora.

MailSpring Compatibility?
/u/protonmail is the a reason why there's been no effort on this front? It appears that it comes down to some sort of handshake issue but I can't imagine this is that hard to fix.

JMAP – a much needed modern email open standard
I was hopeful that https://www.nylas.com/ would be the de-facto "adapter" placing a common API surface on top of the major providers and dragging them into a modern-API world. They even had an email client of their own as a proof of concept (forked by one of the original authors as https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring - and its reusable core https://github.com/Foundry376/Mailspring-Sync may be interesting to many here). But they've pivoted towards making their API only available behind B2B contracts and opaque pricing, and primarily used for corporate email monitoring and CRM use cases - perhaps because security and privacy considerations are nontrivial. I'm still rooting for them but it's a shadow of what it could have been.

I love Mailspring, it's modern and open source: https://getmailspring.com/
The UI uses Electron, but the actual sync engine is in C++, so it's pretty fast.

linux: choosing a well-supported and future proof email desktop client?
Mailspring is quite nice. It also has a paid version and is actively updated so I think it's likely to stick around for awhile.

Cross Platform Email Client
Mailspring, which is open source, is currently my recommendation for a desktop email client.
-
Which email client do you prefer and why?
Mailspring. Open-source and fully local, but an optional account and optional subscription for premium cloud-based features. Thunderbird was too cluttered and Geary, although I really wanted to like it, was just too minimal.
What are some alternatives?
