I use #KDE on wayland and keep getting various #flatpak apps showing the generic Wayland icon in the dock. I found a relatively easy fix at this section of Nick's @thelinuxEXP video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sungl8gWU_8&t=129s

I'm a #Geek

An Unabashed Geek at that. As much as I like the way Apple looks and feels, I detest that you are locked into it. The same goes for Windoze.

With GNU/Linux you have multiple #Desktops. #Gnome is probably the most popular (but please for Gawd's sakes don't quote me). Then there's #KDE (which makes me think of Windoze). Then #Mate, #Cinnamon, #Budgie, #LXQt, #Deepin. These are just a few. Each has it's own pros and cons (LXQt is extremely light on resources but not very customisable). Deepin has incredible graphics and animations, but is extremely resource hungry. Mate uses Gnome 2 (because the author hated Gnome 3). etc etc etc...

I just spent two hours trying to get #Firefox to use #KDE Dolphin as the default file manager.

I went on a journey from .desktop files and mimeinfo.cache, through DBus, to .service files.

I shook with anger when everything seemed configured correctly, but Firefox would just not launch a file manager at all. Click that "show in folder" button and nothing happens.

I have now found the problem.
The problem was: systemd. :angery:

Why. Is. Systemd. Involved. In. Launching. A file manager. 👀

Yeah buddy! I got #Tokodon up and running on the #MangoPi Quad!

I am posting this from the Mango Pi. I am so impressed on what can run on this little #SBC.

I can even attach stuff toooooooooooo!

As an aside, I am not much of a fan of #KDE Plasma DE but I have to say KDE's stand alone applications have been super solid.

#Angelfish has been a solid and fast browser.

#KPat has been a great desktop solitaire game

and #Tokodon has been the most reliable and easy #Mastodon app that I have used on the desktop.
