Hi, This is my first email from new distro (CachyOS). In addition, I had to switch from POP to IMAP, and Thunderbird is sure buggy. I hope it goes out. Anyways, can someone go to <homedepot.ca> ? On my Firefox (146.0.1), it's blank screen. But, I know something is there, because mouse pointer changes as I move on the screen.

Why the switch from POP to IMAP? Thunderbird has supported POP longer than IMAP if I recall correctly? There are a couple bugs with Thunderbird's Edit > Rewrap that bother me: the flow gets broken sometimes. Long term issue. Recently I can be replying to a message and the cursor jumps to the bottom, several lines below the final quoted block. That sure bugs me. Other than those minor issues, it's been pretty solid. v140.4.0esr

It looks fine with 144.0.2 a few minutes after your email, so current info.
I saw "found certificate exception" warning on POP. No warning on IMAP account. And, Thunderbird recommends IMAP. They know more about "email" than I do, so go with the flow. --William On 2026-01-02 03:34, Ron via Talk wrote:

That's interesting! Seems like a misconfigured server. Who's the provider, can you say? It seems like a stanza in, say, /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf, has an incorrect / expired cert for the POP3 entry. I bet POP3 would work if you manually pointed Thunderbird at imap.yourISP.com instead of pop3.yourISP.com - valid certificate presented, and your choice of protocol can be used. Just thinkin' out loud...
And, Thunderbird recommends IMAP. They know more about "email" than I do, so go with the flow. Not a bad choice, for sure.
(And... TB just added about 20 blank lines as quotes at the end of this message. Fortunately the cursor didn't randomly jump to the end mid-sentence, grrrr.)

Anyone who reads their mail on more than device should not be using POP. With IMAP all devices are in sync. With POP, you could have different messages, both sent & received, on different devices. I have a desktop computer, a ThinkPad, cell phone and tablet. The messages are synced on all of them and I could even use a browser elsewhere and I still see all my messages.

Hi,
This is my first email from new distro (CachyOS). In addition, I had to switch from POP to IMAP, and Thunderbird is sure buggy. I hope it goes out.
My experience is that Thunderbird is a catastrophe when used on an IMAP account with lots of messages. Claws-Mail and Evolution are *much* more performative under that situation. I've heard that Mutt is too, although my experience with Mutt is you need to know the keystrokes by muscle memory if you want to avoid certain big time consumers.
Anyways, can someone go to <homedepot.ca> ? On my Firefox (146.0.1), it's blank screen. But, I know something is there, because mouse pointer changes as I move on the screen.
I live in Orlando, Florida, USA. I went to homedepot.ca on both Firefox and Chromium with both, and with both it brought up a screen with a white background and one of these stupid cookie dialog boxes. My firefox is set to dark mode and the website background was white, indicating that the background was hard coded to #ffffff . Hope this helps. SteveT Steve Litt http://444domains.com
Windows 10 Firefox renders it to "blank screen", also. So, it could be Home Depot issue, or Firefox issue. I thought it was CachyOS distro issue, which I'm just starting on. On 2026-01-02 03:28, William Park via Talk wrote:

homedepot.ca is also fine on Fedora 43, Firefox 146.0 Having said that... I have been having problems with some websites under current Firefox (specifically iDrive and bestbuy.ca) that aren't replicated on other browsers ... even the Firefox derivative Zen. FWIW ... I was one of the cowards who jumped to Gmail at the first opportunity, after decades of nightmares with POP, IMAP, MBOX-vs-Maildir and all the technical spaghetti to do with email. My transition from Elm to Mutt was unpleasant, and going from that to Thunderbird was so poor that I bailed on local MUAs as soon as the option became available. I'm well aware of the tradeoffs. - Evan On Fri, Jan 2, 2026 at 5:03 PM David Collier-Brown via Talk < talk@lists.gtalug.org> wrote:

(*Warning*: long post) 1. *Desktop*: Since CachyOS gives you choices of practically all the desktops out there, you can just select what you're familiar with. You don't have to "learn" a new desktop. I choose *KDE*, because I've been using KDE since the beginning. In the past, KDE was big and slow. Now, it's still biggest, but it's the fastest. 2. Package: CachyOS uses "pacman", Debian/Ubuntu uses "apt", and Fedora uses "dnf". Command/option may be different, but the function is the same. Eg. For install, sudo apt update; sudo apt install vim sudo dnf install vim sudo pacman -S vim 3. Bootloader: I had so much problem with this. GRUB can't deal with the EFI boot table that my motherboard/firmware produces. Eg. This is my current boot table: (*Warning*: long lines) BootCurrent: 0000 Timeout: 1 seconds BootOrder: 0000,0001,0002,0003,0004,0005,0006 Boot0000* Limine HD(1,GPT,97f82f98-e0c7-431b-ac9c-1cf526497151,0x1000,0x400000)/\EFI\LIMINE\LIMINE_X64.EFI Boot0001* UEFI OS HD(1,GPT,97f82f98-e0c7-431b-ac9c-1cf526497151,0x1000,0x400000)/\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI0000424f Boot0002* Hard Drive BBS(HD,,0x0)0000474f00004e4f97000000010000005500300036003a00300030002d0030002000530041004d00530055004e0047002000480044003100350034005500490000000501090002000000007fff040001044400ef47642dc93ba041ac194d51d01b4ce6300036003a00300030002d0030002000530041004d00530055004e0047002000480044003100350034005500490000007fff04000000424f00004e4f97000000010000005500300037003a00300030002d0031002000530041004d00530055004e00470020004800440035003000320048004a0000000501090002000000007fff040001044400ef47642dc93ba041ac194d51d01b4ce6300037003a00300030002d0031002000530041004d00530055004e00470020004800440035003000320048004a0000007fff04000000424f00004e4f95000000010000004f00530061006d00730075006e006700200053005300440020003800350030002000450056004f0020003500300030004700420000000501090002000000007fff040001043e00ef47642dc93ba041ac194d51d01b4ce6320053004800310058004e004700410032004200390039003700330020005700200020002000200000007fff04000000424f00004e4f8b000000010000004f005700440043002000570044003400300045004600520058002d00360038004e00330032004e00300000000501090002000000007fff040001043e00ef47642dc93ba041ac194d51d01b4ce62000200020002000570020002d004400430057003700430030004b004c0048004c004b004c00310000007fff04000000424f00004e4f8b000000010000004f005700440043002000570044003300300045004600520058002d0036003800450055005a004e00300000000501090002000000007fff040001043e00ef47642dc93ba041ac194d51d01b4ce62000200020002000570020002d004400430057003400430034004e0056005300380032003700380000007fff04000000424f00004e4f87000000010000004f00530054003100300030003000560058003000300030002d0031004300550031003600320000000501090002000000007fff040001043e00ef47642dc93ba041ac194d51d01b4ce6200020002000200020002000200020002000200020002000310053004a0044005700510052004e0000007fff04000000424f00004e4f87000000010000004f0053005400330030003000300044004d003000300031002d00390059004e0031003600360000000501090002000000007fff040001043e00ef47642dc93ba041ac194d51d01b4ce62000200020002000200020002000200020002000200020003100570030004600360054005700410000007fff04000000424f00004e4f81000000010000004f00530041004d00530055004e00470020004800440031003000330055004a0000000501090002000000007fff040001043e00ef47642dc93ba041ac194d51d01b4ce6310053005000330039004a005a00430030003100330030003800300020002000200020002000200000007fff04000000424f Boot0003* CD/DVD Drive BBS(CDROM,,0x0)0000474f00004e4fab000000010000005f00300036003a00300030002d003100200048004c002d00440054002d00530054002000440056004400520041004d002000470048003200300000000501090003000000007fff040001044e00ef47642dc93ba041ac194d51d01b4ce6300036003a00300030002d003100200048004c002d00440054002d00530054002000440056004400520041004d002000470048003200300000007fff04000000424f Boot0004* UEFI:CD/DVD Drive BBS(129,,0x0) Boot0005* UEFI:Removable Device BBS(130,,0x0) Boot0006* UEFI:Network Device BBS(131,,0x0) And, it is scanned and generated from my setup: * /dev/sda -- running CachyOS now. * /dev/sd[bcdefg] -- multi disk BTRFS raid1 filesystem, mostly for backup. * /dev/sdh -- old Slackware. I don't know if it's firmware issue, hardware issue, or software issue. * All Debian/Ubuntu distros failed to install. * OpenSUSE also failed to install. * Fedora succeeded sometimes and failed sometimes. It would spend more time "loading bootloader" than "installing software". * CachyOS gives you 5 bootloaders (grub, systemd-boot, refind, another refind, limine) -- grub failed, systemd-boot failed. Refind and Limine succeeded. I choose *Limine* (more below). 4. Filesystem: Ubuntu/Debian defaults to "ext4", Fedora defaults to "btrfs" at rudimentary level, and Cachy defaults to "btrfs" with more functions. * You can do "system rollback". In fact, I used it yesterday, when I screwed up the system after installing VirtualBox. Every time you install package using "pacman", it takes a snapshot and put it in the boot menu. So, next time you boot, you get the normal *Limine* boot menu, with snapshots entries. You select the snapshot you want (in my case, before VirtualBox), and you're up with that snapshot. Then, when you're satisfied it's the right one, you restore it as main system. * Fedora will probably follow Cachy, because you can do system rollback without all the "Atomic" or "Timeshift" sillyness. I tried Fedora Kinoite, and what I got was more maintenance and headache. The system part is atomic, yes. But, in order to install anything, you have to use Toolbox container which has its own system of "user:group". So, I had "user:group" in the main system, and "nobody:nobody" in Toolbox system. I ended up with 2 systems to maintain. * "btrfs" allows you to do backup easier and faster, by dumping from an old snapshot to a new snapshot. This is what I want to learn, because this is what other distros will be adopting. * They say "btrfs" is slower than "ext4". But, I haven't noticed it. In fact, Cachy is very crisp. It could be from all that optimizations they compiled with. Who knows. I'm just a user. 5. Migration: Slackware -> CachyOS I did so many practice runs, and still I screwed up and had to "rollback" the system. * Firefox and Thunderbird have been migrated. Tip: copy ~/.mozilla, and do "firefox --ProfileManager" to select your old profile. Don't run firefox first, and then do "about:profiles". That's because you're contaminating ~/.mozilla before switching over. * Installed VirtualBox from Cachy repository. I didn't have to download from Oracle. It's definitely faster. * Cross-compile tool chains were easy to install. In compiling kernel for Raspberry Pi, Cachy is 10% faster than Fedora or Debian. * Everything is so automated, that I didn't have to copy over anything in /etc. Except /etc/fstab, but even that is just append. * Changed my shell to "bash". I just couldn't stand "fish". 6. Multimedia: With CachyOS, all the needed codecs are downloaded for you, which is what "package manager" should do. But, I don't have too many movies on hand to test. I noticed that "mplayer" and "vlc" are available from repository, and "mpv" is installed from the iso. 7. Conclusion: To answer Evan's question:
Will someone coming from Kubuntu, Debian or Fedora KDE be comfortable there?
Yes. If you pick the desktop you know, then everything is where it should be, and all the apps are what you were using before. Except for, package managers, of course. Now, you can select "ext4" as your filesystem, and you really would have nothing to learn. I chose "btrfs" because I want to learn "btrfs". --William
Thank you for this very complete answer. Going forward it will be interesting to see how often you *need* to rollback; you've already needed it once. It looks from here that the choice of btrfs over ext4 might be a practical requirement because of the snapshot capability. - Evan On Sat, Jan 3, 2026 at 12:51 AM William Park <opengeometry@yahoo.ca> wrote:

And, it is scanned and generated from my setup:
* /dev/sda -- running CachyOS now. * /dev/sd[bcdefg] -- multi disk BTRFS raid1 filesystem, mostly for backup. * /dev/sdh -- old Slackware.
I don't know if it's firmware issue, hardware issue, or software issue.
* All Debian/Ubuntu distros failed to install. * OpenSUSE also failed to install. * Fedora succeeded sometimes and failed sometimes. It would spend more time "loading bootloader" than "installing software". * CachyOS gives you 5 bootloaders (grub, systemd-boot, refind, another refind, limine) -- grub failed, systemd-boot failed. Refind and Limine succeeded. I choose *Limine* (more below).
I don't really understand what isn't working. GRUB, the bootloader, probably has no problem with this. Am I right in assuming the problem is with grub2-install(8), the program that is supposed to install GRUB? Or perhaps grubby(8).

It's grub all right, to be exact, /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober. If I make it non-executable (chmod -x), then all GRUB distros install cleanly.
Too late though. I migrated 30+ years old Slackware to CachyOS. I have to learn BTRFS way of doing backup. All I know at the moment is, btrfs send ... | btrfs receive ... where source and destination have to be read-only. Okay, but the "source" is the system I'm running. How do I make it read-only and still have it running? Or, make a snapshot and back that up? Then, I have 2 snapshots, one at the source and another at the backup destination. More reading... --William

That's run as part of installing grub. Or updating its menus. That finds what partitions have OSes and what OSes they have. That's not grub-the-bootloader actually running. There are surely ways of finding out what the os-prober is doing when it stops making progress. But you've moved past this point.
This is my first email from new distro (CachyOS). In addition, I had to switch from POP to IMAP, and Thunderbird is sure buggy. I hope it goes out. I still use POP with Thunderbird. Thunderbird isn't quite as nice a program as it used to be. I am now used to its new UI that it introduced just past

In one recent version an update duplicated pretty much all of my emails across all my folders. Still haven't removed all the dupes. It used to be more stable and problem free. A little less so in recent updates. At the time I saw this message this morning the Home Depot website loaded without problem. -- Cheers!

Hi,

Anyways, can someone go to <homedepot.ca> ? On my Firefox (146.0.1), it's blank screen. But, I know something is there, because mouse pointer changes as I move on the screen.
I found out why. It was "AdBlocker Ultimate". If I disable it, <homedepot.ca> shows up. Thanks to all those who went on this "wild goose chase" with me. Now, for CachyOS... There are rough edges: * In the latest sync, more fonts came down from upstream, and font rendering are better. Eg. Thunderbird is now showing "Times" font that I typed in posts to GTALUG. I have switched back to default "Variable Width" (which is "Noto Serif"). So, this post is being typed in "Noto Serif" font. * KDE is just one of many desktops they offer, and it's not their main priorities, I don't think. So, Kubuntu and FedoraKDE are better in KDE integration. Eg. I tried Kmail, and many of its dependencies had errors after download. Because of these errors, it refused to upgrade the whole thing. Which is good. * CachyOS is focused on 64-bit optimizations. So, it has ARM64 cross compile toolchains, but not 32-bit ARMhf (v7 hard float) stuffs. For 32-bit arm, you have use Debian/Ubuntu. So, we'll see how Kubuntu 26.04 is. --William
