Summary:
Upstream blog post https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4660
"GNOME Online Accounts, aka “GOA”, is a project which allows users to
connect to their data in the cloud. This project was only designed for
GNOME though so it doesn’t provide any front-end. It only provides
libraries (namely libgoa and libgoa-backend).
Other than GNOME, many desktop environments integrated a front-end to
these libraries in their control center: Cinnamon, Budgie, Unity, etc.
This project is important because it doesn’t just connect a desktop to
the cloud, it’s used by many applications and libraries. Among other
things you might use it to connect the Calendar application, the
Thunderbird email program or the file browser to your online data.
With GNOME 46, libgoa/libgoa-backend 3.50 moved to GTK4. It can no
longer be used by GTK3 applications.
To solve this problem a new XApp called GNOME Online Account GTK was
created. As any XApp its goal is to work for everybody, in any desktop
environment and in any Linux distribution.
