It's about what window manager you want to use. The big ones are: <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/KDEPlasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDEPlasma</a> (what I like), <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GNOME</a>, and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cinnamon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cinnamon</a>.

Then there are the people who want a tiling window manager like <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/i3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3</a> or <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sway</a>.

50+ Music"Wild Horses" is a song by the English rock band <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/theRollingStones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theRollingStones</a>. It was first released in 1970 by <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/theFlyingBurritoBrothers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theFlyingBurritoBrothers</a>, as the Rolling Stones did not consider their demo of the song to be worth recording fully. It was subsequently recorded by the Rolling Stones for their 1971 album <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/StickyFingers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StickyFingers</a> when they felt it was worth reconsideration. It was also released on 12 June 1971 as a single, with "<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Sway</a>" as its <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Bside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bside</a>. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY_GgPi5eCM" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY_GgPi5eCM</a>

rozodruI dont' think a lot of people appreciate just how good default Sway is as a WM. and this is probably a controversial take but Sway-Bar with i3Status or blocks is WAY better than Waybar (I personally hate waybar).

I tried all kind of combinations of xdg-desktop-portals but finally settled on "simply" starting a gnome-session and starting 'xdg-desktop-portal -rv' afterward to get whatever I was missing to enable the OpenURI endpoint (or whatever the magic is). It works now, I spend too much time on that digging the interwebs without anything to show for it. I hope enlightenment will be in my future but for now I can get stuff done.
