From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

File picker issues (lemmy.zip)

Hi, I’m having issues with the file picker on my arch system. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all. If I press “Upload file” in a browser, nothing happens, no window pops up. It doesn’t work in other apps either when that happens. It sometimes starts working after a restart. Does anyone have any ideas? Let me know if you need any logs and how to get them please :)

I’m on arch, hyprland, both xdg-hyprland and xdg-gtk are installed.

The thing is, it only breaks sometimes (usually when I need it the most lol). Both are installed and I don’t think it would only not work sometimes if they were missing. I’m thinking of hopping to another distro haha I know it’s not arch’s fault, but this excuse is as good as any lmao
