<p>Just curious, does anybody use <a href="/tags/kde/" rel="tag">#KDE</a> <a href="/tags/kmail/" rel="tag">#Kmail</a>?</p><p>I&#x27;m just toying around with the idea of switching my work machine from Debian to KDE Neon to get super-up-to-date KDE programs, and I wonder how usable KMail would be as an alternative to <a href="/tags/thunderbird/" rel="tag">#Thunderbird</a> (which I still really like).</p>

I mean, I&#x27;ve got the keyboard shortcuts set up very nicely, so it&#x27;s just F12 to make the window appear and disappear, and then control+tab to cycle through tabs or control+pgup/pgdown to jump between panes, but somehow the tiling setup is just a bit easier to do. Less thinking, just super+-. ;)</p><p>I don&#x27;t know if I&#x27;ll continue to use tiling setup too much longer, though. It&#x27;s too aggravating to figure out how to get the occasional gnome program to work properly. There&#x27;s always some kind of fancy library initialization that I fail to get right. It&#x27;s easier to just use a DE and whittle it down to nearly tiling levels of productivity.</p><p><img src="https://neodb.social/media/emoji/polymaths.social/BlobCatDerpy.png" class="emoji" alt=":BlobCatDerpy:" title=":BlobCatDerpy:"></p>
