I usually use the net installer, but it's possible that I used the
Workstation live to install F34 on this system. I noticed Thunderbird
seemed to be a bit strange, not integrated well. For example, I
couldn't open pdf files normally. I couldn't pick the pdf viewer, only
an option to use the default system opener or save the file. I
discovered what had happened when I tried to update it and dnf said it
wasn't installed. It took a while, but eventually I figured out that it
was a flatpack. I would never intentionally install a flatpack,
particularly when there's a perfectly good rpm available.
So my question is, how did Thunderbird get installed as a flatpack? Is
that the default for the workstation install now?
When I opened Gnome Software, it gave me the initial welcome dialog, so
I didn't use that to install it. I did use that to remove the flatpack
and I could see that it would be very easy to accidentally install the
flatpack version instead of the rpm one.
