minus-squareSkull giver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up15·10 months agoI believe some BSDs use it too, and WSL2 will make Linux applications automatically appear on Windows, so editing desktop files may be useful there too. Plus, you don’t need to deal with different architectures (aarch vs amd64).
