From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just use Betterbird?

Betterbird is the solution. It just works and the system tray icon is a welcome addition. No more needing to use Birdtray for that.

Initially I followed this route to avoid Snap version provided by Ubuntu.

Later I just downloaded Tar package from Mozilla, and update it manually.

In short, I just abandoned deb/snap/flatpak altogether.
