You’re not really RTFM unless you’re digging into source code comments

If your googling is about to take you to the arch wiki, you’re having a good night!

No fun. Nothing learned.

This!

Don’t mess with things you don’t understand.

Don’t listen to this advice. Messing with things you don’t understand is how you learn your OS. Mess with it, break it, then RTFM and fix it. That’s how ya learn!!

OMG finally! Now I don’t need a bunch of addons that always break to do this!!

I think in the case of flatpak, they moved them to a different location because they are symlinked within the flatpak itself and should be readonly, where as the other locations are for system desktop files (distro package manager), local desktop files (yours) and optional desktop files (things youve built from source)

Doesn’t seem so bad when you consider that

Copy the unmodified .desktop file to ~/.local/share/Applications and make your changes there.

It’s because Mint used to be Ubuntu without the fuss. Now Ubuntu is Ubuntu without the fuss and mint is Ubuntu with broken packages.

The funny part is that Mint was always just Ubuntu with broken packages.

Edit: I think I hurt some feelings

Do you have any documentation on this by any chance? I don’t really like messing with ad schemas

I thought this stopped working after MS pulled the Unix subsystem, as samba was using those attributes to manage the Linux systems?

Copy them to an external drive or another computer, copy them back after.

Chances are you’re gonna wanna wipe the partition table on your switch over so I’d just copy them out then back in. No point over complicating things.

Yeah the picture looks exactly like my experiences with Manjaro. Thanks

Start by not using Manjaro. Seriously this won’t be the first time this happens to you. It’s not a great distro. Consider EndevourOS if you want Arch without the command line install.
