I’m using KDE and when I download a flatpak it automatically creates a .desktop file. I think gnome does this too if I’m not mistaken. I do have to restart or relogin for it to put the file there but that’s not that bad IMO.

I have had a problem where some apps will just open to then show up as black. I can’t seem to figure out why its not working. It is what it is.

Brave browser. It has an ad blocker built in.

Well this isn’t a DE thing but I would like good ray tracing and the new frame gen support for my AMD GPU.

Librewolf is able to do that by turning sync on in the librewolf settings.

Vultr is good, IMO.

Yes but it is a hassle.
