Installing Thunderbird from PPA
Snapd and Thunderbird removal
As you probably noticed, Thunderbird is available through a forced install of Snap (snapd service).
To get rid of this, open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy/paste:
This command, will trigger also the removal of Thunderbird. That is what I did.
Or:
Code: sudo snap remove thunderbird
Installing Thunderbird from Mozilla PPA
Enter the following code into the Terminal:
Code: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa
sudo apt update
Now, let’s prepare the installation of Thunderbird. Copy and Paste exactly the entire code from below:
Code: echo '
Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-mozillateam
Pin-Priority: 1001
Package: thunderbird
Pin: version 2:1snap*
Pin-Priority: -1
' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/thunderbird
To execute the code, you will be asked for the super password. Type it into the terminal.
Installing Thunderbird. Copy And Paste into the terminal:
Code: sudo apt install thunderbird
In order to prevent a snap takeover of the upgrade, you need to Copy/Paste the following code into the Terminal:
Code: echo 'Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins:: "LP-PPA-mozillateam:${distro_codename}";' | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades-thunderbird
Terminal output of the above steps

Boot problems - have to use recovery mode every time |

Dear all,
I have a HP HP-Laptop-15-db0xxx which dual boots with windows 10 or Linux Lite 6.6
It defaults to Windows on boot.
I am running Linux-lite and Ununtu 5.15.0-107-generic
To get into Linux, I press esc, wait for the boot loader to pick it up, then F9 to go to the options menu.
I can chose windows, ubuntu or something else that I can't remember.
I chose Ubuntu, and then get an option to run 5.15.0-107, or its recovery mode, and an earlier package or its recovery mode.
The other package doesn't run, so I will delete it in tweaks.
If I boot straight into 5.15.0-107, it loads, but after I type in my password, the screen starts to flash and writhe, and is totally unreadable. After a while it goes dark, but the back light is still on. There is no sign of response to the mouse or the keyboard.
If I boot into 5.15.0-107 recovery mode, and change nothing, then exit recovery mode into Linux from that menu, everything works fine (although I do have to unplug my USB mouse and plug it in again or it doesn't see it.
I think the problem is the screen driver which loads after the password is entered. But I have no idea how to change it to the default one that I'm left with when I boot through recovery mode.
My explanation could be totally up the wrong path, so I would be very happy to hear from anyone who can help this. I'd like to default boot into LL, but I need to correct this error first.
lspci gives me (I hope its' helpful - this is the report after booting through recovery mode. I have no idea what driver is being used when it boots normally, as I can't see what's going on. Caps lock still works, so something is definitely happening; it's just that I can't see it.)

Now here with Windows 11 really am done with all the optimizations , restarts , group policy editor and stripping down system components just for privacy and speed. Stumbled across this build but before diving in. I need some pointers on how to get the same software for my devices.
AMD 4800H GPU + Nvidia 3050Ti
Universal x86 Tuning Utility
Fiio K5 Pro (DSD64/128/256 Mode, 32-bit Mode, Jriver Media Center, ASIO Driver)
MSI Afterburner + Riverturner (Overclocking 3050Ti, On Screen Display)
AMD 4800H GPU + Nvidia 3050Ti
In Windows under system > display > Graphics, adding the games .exe and selecting power saving (AMD) / high performance (nvidia). I am unsure how this works under linux and when does linux switch between , or are you limited to one , when when I force when app doesn't switch ...
Universal x86 Tuning Utility ( https://amdaputuningutility.com/ )
Under windows this program allows me control CPU Power/Temp limit/VRMs. I also use PBO Scalar and Core Offset. This is important because my LAPTOP is a locked BIOS, What programs are available for Linux?
Fiio K5 Pro
Music collection is mostly FLAC 16-bit but Vinyl DSD are WAV 32-bit converted and I'm not sure how Linux Audio works here. Windows audio panel with K5 drivers installed runs 32-bit 44.1Khz mode. Jriver Media Cetner takes over my device when I press play because of the ASIO drivers, does this work the same under Linux?
MSI Afterburner + RiverTurner
This app is staple over many many years and not sure how this works under linux, looking for overclocking and on screen display support for games

Where to download higan games |

I just installed higan for LL 6.6 and I had trouble finding games for it. I searched higan's tutorial and followed the directions: it said to select Library drop down box, then press Load ROM, I did this and my home directory came up. I searched all the files and couldn't find any .zip files for games. Do i need to download the games from a website?

Clementine not working |

I installed clementine and tried to play music and this came up: "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in."
I followed the directions from the last post asking where to get plugins for clementine and it said to install Restricted Extras...then i tried clementine again and it still said the same thing; plus, after i installed Restricted Extras it crashed and continued to crash every time i started google chrome. So i had to reinstall Linux Lite 6.6.
Thanks for your time.
