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.

I just updated to the latest Thunderbird via flat pack this week and now when I click on mail to links Thunderbird says that it is already open and it can't open the link.

This is a total bummer really because in reality it's going to be a relatively long time until the next release. I might see if I can roll back to the previous version.
