   I've already been using Thunderbird, Firefox and LibreOffice for years.   
   I con copy TB's and Fx's profile folders, so that's handy. I've got a   
   broken laptop (battery) running on Linux Mint 22.2 and a couple days I   
   was looking for an audio player to replace AIMP, but they're all crap in   
   comparison. OTOH I don't need to look at the player, most important is   
   that it plays my MP3 and FLAC (which they all do).   
      
   I've been trying to run Forté Agent under Bottles, Wine, ... and   
   sometimes it works and then I'm getting one memory error after another.   
   I already reduced the number of connections, but maybe the problem is   
   multiple servers I run. I know it works, because I tried this years ago   
   and got it to run fine.
