  • okay i figured it out, you have to create a .desktop file for miru in .local/share/applications and it must contain this line:

    MimeType=x-scheme-handler/miru;

    you can use Gear Lever which adds Appimages to the applications menu and creates the .dekstop file automatically for you so you don’t have to do everything manually even the line above, it also has an update mechanism too

    it’s preferable to Temporarily use Brave or a chromium browser as the default for it work properly if Firefox is your default

    linux doesn’t have that problem and most of the times you’re asked if you want to add a shortcut on the Desktop during the install even on Windows, i mean it’s good we have options for all the use cases and workflows by having these different Desktop Environments but i think having options within the DE itself is better for the long-term adoption but it’s harder to maintain which i understand. i like the UI getting used to me not the other way around

    less functionality is bad. with a bit of gaslighting you can make anything seem like a design choice instead of admitting it’s hard to make a good and sustainable implementation for said functionality. but at least gnome has extensions and is customisable, Pantheon DE is a brick in comparison.
