@ndegruchy @mooshoe I don't know. If have to agree with them on this. It would be really annoying to maintain a GNOME app and have Ubuntu theming make it look weird by default. Not only does it make you look bad, but you also get probably get tons of bug reports for various themes because something doesn't work right. Then you end up focusing on making sure your app works with the theme of major distros.They aren't calling out people for theming. They are calling out distros for theming.

@colomar At least from what I understand, GNOME does not support theming. People have just swapped out stylesheets and icon files. So the issue is that a distros like Ubuntu sometimes break apps in such a way that users have to download the GNOME tweak tool to switch over to the Adwaita stylesheet and icons. Even then, sometimes they have changed icon names, so you get random things in the distro that have the default unknown icon, or now have the wrong one.

@colomar I only use Fedora with GNOME, because they present it like it was intended to be presented. I run into a lot less issues with theming. This is especially an issue with distros like Ubuntu: aka the gateway distro for many people. People will just assume that the app developer screwed something up if they don't understand this issue.

@colomar That's what they're doing with this website:"Please read the letter all the way to the end. This is aimed at distributions breaking apps by default, not tinkerers playing with their own setup."

@colomar Because it's impossible to actually "fix" the themes. They aren't going to download and test every app against their theme. (Ie. UberWriter) This is about giving developers the sanity to have a consistent platform. It's not written by GNOME, but by a few devs that write apps for it which are on the fringe/get forgotten during theme development.

@codesections Maybe. I've done it before and have everything work, and I've done it where everything blew up.

@Extarys @elementary The laptop that I am running on has always played well with distros, and has had Ubuntu 18.04 on it before in the form of Pop!_OS, so there wasn't too much risk involved. Plus, I had been using elementary code on Fedora, so that alone is worth it.

@brainblasted @cassidyjames My "favorite" posts criticizing elementary are the ones that say something like:"Why can't you support theming like GNOME does?"

Looking to replace Tutanota for something that supports imap, cardDav and calDav. I feel like I've seen people talk about fastmail. Any fastmail users want to share their experience? Any other email provider suggestions?Alternatives cannot be:ProtonMailGmail/MS/Yahoo... etc

@cavaliertusky The same things as tutanota:- E2EE only with other tutanota users (or you have to use a password for other users)- Doesn't use "open" standards like imap, caldav and carddav(I realize that the "Bridge" exists for protonmail, but from what I understand, it's not reliable)I don't necessarily think that they are bad, but the strategy they are using includes too much "re-invention of the wheel" They have to implement every client feature for email, contacts and calendar.

@cavaliertusky I'd rather use an email service that just worked on keeping my data secure, private and available via open standards, while leaving all of the feature development to the many email clients that already know how to use them.

@kev I've seen Zoho before, but kind of dismissed it based on the logo looking like it's for a daycare. I'll have to look into it!

@rnickson Nextcloud has an app on fdroid: PhoneTrack. You need a nextcloud server to use it.I haven't used it, so I can't vouch for it.
