Why is Nautilus just becoming a progressively worse Nemo
@alfredohno They keep rewriting it instead of adding new features
Well, they are adding new features, but they’re mainly oriented towards mobile linux users at the moment.
@julia Well and doing dumb ecosystem lock-in stuff like making it ay more difficult to change what terminal it opens on right click, and Console is also just worse Blackbox so that’s not helpful >w>
@alfredohno you can change that in dconf under org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal
-> exec
, exec-arg
:
@julia I tried, did nothing. Supposedly they changed it so Nautilus needs an extension to even check the default
@alfredohno omfg really? I’ll try and fix that and get it upstreamed
@alfredohno oh nevermind, apparently that key is deprecated… Apparently it now uses the xdg-terminal-exec
standard.
@julia It’s probably declared by home manager again..
@alfredohno In the source code, it looks like it tries to look for xdg-terminal-exec
first, and then the following, in order, until it finds one that exists:
kgx
(GNOME Console)gnome-terminal
mate-terminal
xfce4-terminal
tilix
konsole
nxterm
color-xterm
rxvt
dtterm
xterm
Rather interesting behavior, tbh. I’ll see if I can get a change merged into glib that will make the deprecation comment on org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal
-> exec
mention xdg-terminal-exec
.
@julia I guess in the meantime I’ll look for how to edit that value in NixOS
