i thought it was called evolution because it's stuck in a 2001-era evolutionary dead end and people mostly just want to take it out the back and shoot it at this point

geary's kind of almost ok but it's been at like version 0.3 for a very long time

Just use KDE: The Least Garbage Linux Desktop, and then you already have the packages you need to run whatever it is I can't be assed to scoll up.

but then you get some apps that look like this because the kde developers have a burning hate for client side decorations:

1. you had to specially configure kde to force this behavior; it doesn't happen when i do it

2. it's really dumb for gnome to be painting its own decorations

I didn't know that; I thought it was just a riff off the Helix Code/monkey theme stuff that was going around at the time, before it was even part of GNOME.

I love how evolution keeps a process in memory to do database lookups that stays in memory after evolution quits or even after the user logs out.

So, when the process craps out (once every week) it is easier to tell someone over the phone to reboot their computer rather than search their process list and type "kill 4472".

Either that, or go without ldap autocomplete, but with the recent high frequency of kernel updates (which necessitates a reboot anyway) the issue has magically gone away.

Actually, we've just dumped it in favor of Thunderbird since it reliably handles calendars now.
