Yeah same. There are some types of text file where gedit doesn’t even appear as an option. Like sometimes I don’t want to open .xml files in the browser.
I was able to set VScode for .xml files but not gedit. It’s not a huge deal but that one thing makes gnome feel like immature software.
Having to create .desktop files in god knows where for me to be able to right click -> “open with” my program of choice sure pushed me away
I don’t even know what they were thinking not letting you beowse for any executable file on disk
Aren’t you supposed to use
alacarteapp to create new program entry on gnome?That’s definitely not what Google told me to do at the time in 2015
