Hi,
I am wondering, is Kontact the same thing as KMAIL?
If so, I would rather have a newer version of KMAIL that comes with the
Kontact flatpak than the version that comes with TDE.

I'll tell you a story. When we were students we went to a pizza place where
they served at noon time pizzas in promotion (reduced price) 5,50 the
piece.
A friend was looking at the menu and started asking about some exotic pizzas
with pineapple etc. The waiter looked at him and said: "Look man, I don't
have your dreams. I have what is in the menu!"
I think the same answer applies to your question.
1. you have to distinguish KDE from TDE (the difference is that TDE packages
have -trinity appended to them). So kontact is not the same as
kontact-trinity and kmail is not the same as kmail-trinity. Trinity is the
continuation of KDE3.
2. kontact is an application where you can drive multiple applications like
organizer, mailer, etc. So it is not the same as kmail
3. you can not mix up KDE and TDE and I am not aware of flatpak for TDE so
assuming you are reffering KDE flatpaks ... see above. We have only what is
in the menu.

I have a questions but first the background. I don't use
Flatpak or CGroups or anything like them and I don't know
anything about them. (If I need process isolation I use a
dang-near-bulletproof VM.)
So my questions are:
(1) If someone uses the KDE Kontact Flatpak with a TDE
installation, will they be using TDE at all?
(2) Is this something inherent in the design or specification
of Flatpak or is it a choice made by the pack's creator?

And of course make THUNAR my file manager... Konq is just bleh...

Hi Chris,
Personally I prefer TDE because it is reliable and doesn't
make unnecessary changes.
Preferring newer versions is an equally valid option but I'm
wondering if you might be happier with KDE rather than TDE?

I was a HUUUUGE fan of KDE 3!
KDE 3 was the very first Desktop Enviroment that I used when I first
downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 / 8.10 out of curiosity.
