Subject: Re: Fwd: Re: new tier 2 build platform - linux-aarch64 Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2021 15:52:48 +0100 From: João Azevedo <joao.azevedo@puri.sm> To: Óvári <ovari123@zoho.com>, feedback@puri.sm Hello Óvári, Thunderbird can be installed in the Librem 5, it is available in several distribution repositories for it. And if the Librem 5 is in Docked mode: connected via a USB-C to a external display and a keyboard it can work perfectly. And touch support works. The issue is when it is not in docked mode, just the phone it self, several of the Thunderbird windows are not adaptive and do not fit properly on a 5 inch screen. As can be seen in the attached picture of Thunderbird on a Librem 5 in landscape mode. We do have developer documentation for those interested in making their applications adaptive for mobile and have several mailing lists and matrix chat rooms to help with any questions.
