Jesse Smith of DistroWatch says Fed44 is a mess; recommends staying w/ 43.

JS is a very strong and 'moderate' reviewer in terms of kindness vs 
unkindness.

Fed43

I haven't investigated the repo vs 'other packaging' aspect of Betterbird.

BB's docs are of course unhappy w/ the linux ecosystem for providing 
packages; they say they built 140 on Ub 22.4, whereas the flatpak would 
have a better chance, but the 'combo' still seems a little far-out.

Maybe it is time to practice compiling :-)
