New to Debian ---

[Ringo Swartz]

Hello,

New to Linux/Debian and looking for some advise.

1)  How can I install Thunderbird on Debian install?  -  If I understand correctly there is an application named app get that manages installing & maintenance ...  unable to find documentation etc..

2) I am trying to replace  Windows 7-10 install with a Linux product and always seem to run into the same problems regardless of Linux flavor. No Linux drivers for external monitors.

Running a dell M5700 laptop  through a docking station for two external monitors.   One a Dell SE2716H monitor other a Dell 2707WFP Monitor.  Under Linux the display on the laptop is fine 1920x1080 however the monitors only will handle 1280x720 or less.

Dell is not providing Linux drivers for the monitors - are there generic (Linux) drivers available if so where?

Please advise..

Thanks, Fawzley

Hey, to install thunderbird ( and a lot of other packages) you can open a terminal and type:

sudo apt update

this will update the list of packages that you can install from debian repository( basically )

after this, you run

apt install thunderbird

this will install and configure thunderbird for you.

after this, you should be able to find thunderbird app in you applications list :)
