Thunderbird 102 Released: A Serious Upgrade to Your Communication
I’m still stuck pre78 because I like to use an external editor. https://github.com/exteditor/exteditor/issues/74

Mozilla bug 13474: external processes/filters for textareas (2002)
How I got to this? By asking Google "Thunderbird edit reply in external editor", then I've followed the bread crumbs:
=> <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259633> (18 years old), duplicate of,
=> <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241583> (18 years old), duplicate of,
=> <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13474> (23 years old), bug still open...
BTW, I used to use `It's all text`, the Firefox addon that allowed one to edit text-areas in external editors, but it broke a few years ago... (Coincidentally or not, that was the time I've also dropped using MoinMoin and other wikis... Also coincidence or not, that was the time I've started using Chromium more...)
The other recommended addon is `exteditor`, but it seems that, just like `It's all text`, it also doesn't work in latest Thunderbird: <https://github.com/exteditor/exteditor/issues/74>...
Is it that hard to ask, in 2022 when we have so many good text editors, to be able to use one instead of the built-in ones?
Perhaps nobody wants this feature? Searching the Mozilla Bugzilla instance shows another story...
AppImageLauncher
- New to fedora, any advices?

What is the proper way to install?
Every file that you want to execute has to be in your environment PATH. I would also advise to put symlinks and personal executables in ~/.local/bin and put that to your path. Since your user has ownership over that directory, you won't have any probs with permissions that may or may not occur at all. Since we're talking about AppImage files, you might also want to take a look at AppImageLauncher which does a pretty good job at creating entries for your Desktop Menu for the AppImage files that you install to your system.

What’s the best way to install App Man, direct or via distrobox?
I think it's safe to install it directly as it stores everything in a single directory. For AppImages there is also AppImagePool + AppImageLauncher (can be installed rootless, useful for better integration of appimages).
- Newer Linux Administrator, have a question regarding Debian builds like Ubuntu and installer.appimage files.
- AppImage won't ask anymore to Integrate after Running only once
- AppImageLauncher no longer working on Fedora 38

Working on an app to "install" and manage AppImages
This reminds me of a prettier version of AppImageLauncher. Is there also an "Uninstall" option in the right-click menu of the app launcher?

Can I trust Flatpak apps if they are not managed by the app developer?
I'm using AppImageLauncher on Fedora.

Standard Notes users - how are you creating shortcut to SN inDock?
"... I recall that this was related to an issue with most Electron apps, wherein the AppImage cannot be integrated with the desktop or the favourites bar. So far we've found that the AppImageLauncher (https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher) helps with getting around this!
