Yeah, based on a legal request - that's how it should be. Our problems are not police listening in on criminals but unwarranted mass-surveillance.

I've been using Thunderbird since forever. It's not perfect but I like it better than bloated and laggy Outlook.
Even in your example, you set everything up.
No shit. Have you installed Windows 10/11 recently? Do you seriously believe a 85 year-old will get this done on their own?
I share your overall opinion though: Linux is not "the best for most people". That would be phones nowadays. Many people don't even have computers anymore (I don't get how they organize their finances or write documents but I guess I'm just old).
My mother used Linux Mint as her last OS just fine. She struggled more with her phone than Linux. Just using browser, mail client and writing the occasional letter you're pretty much OS-agnostic.
However, while that does work, sometimes updates break something (regardless of distribution). Windows mixes shit up which makes the elderly not finding something again but Linux updates may result in the DE not starting for some reason. I moved to Linux 100% myself but I still won't ever recommend it to anyone who isn't fine with tinkering or has access to family tech support.
a lot of that comes down to low level features like GCD and ARC.
Ah, almost but this shows you're just bullshitting (knowingly or not). Those are programming features and neither serves resource efficiency but security and preventing other errors. Important things, but managing memory manually in C will be faster and less resource-intensive than any smart-pointer variant. Doing so flawlessly is hard though.
Or, you know, use neither.
TIL that the two people to have been the oldest when serving as POTUS are Joe Biden and Donald Trump
Old shitheads tend to be annoyingly resilient, unfortunately.
Ex-smokers are the most militant non-smokers. Why would it be different for ex Windows users/victims?
Yep. 2023 still has a week to let the world go to shit for good.
Well, not really. Your first reply to me got downvoted because you setup a strawman - arguing against something that wasn't even the point.
Your second, the one you claimed said the same as mine, insinuated Dark Matter is just some mathy explanation among many. This doesn't give it credit. It's the current no 1 explanation with lots of evidence. Still didn't get downvoted though.
If by "better for touch" you mean a phone app: no, Thunderbird is for your computer. In Android I can recommend FairEmail.
