Re: Using apps from older version

Sorry for the delay... but if you really, really want to use the ancient Thunderbird version, you can dredge the internet to see if you are able to find an old appimage to use. That 'might' work. At least it will be better isolated from everything else that it might break.

If 115.8.1 takes this long to be available on MX, how long will it take for Thunderbird 115.9 to be available on MX? Also not connecte...

Re: Any tool in Debian similar to 'nwg-look' in Arch? [Solved]

nwg is for use to chnage gtk3 on Wayland only, so far as I know. To quote:

"Nwg-look is a GTK3 settings editor, designed to work properly in wlroots-based Wayland environment."

Re: calibre-helper updates do not upgrade Calibre

FWIW Calibre informs users of available updates (plugins or versions). I find it a simple task to add the following to update calibre (on arch and/or debian sid).
