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.
Not sure if this is a valid data point. I installed F35 Workstation from the
Live Beta Image. There was no thunderbird installed.
If I click on Activities and type thunderbird it shows up in "Software" and I
suppose if I click on it it would get installed.
From where? I can't tell.
Also, my F34 Workstation has no thunderbird, but I can;t recall how I installed
it.
