      True to some extent, and I do this, but some aspects are unavoidable. For example the GTK save/open dialogue is used by Firefox, and it sucks (why can’t I type the fucking path in?). There aren’t good and popular alternative browsers that use Qt or any other toolkit with a decent dialogue.

        If you’re on Plasma, rt-click the start menu and Edit Applications. Find Firefox and into the environment line add GTK_USE_PORTAL=1 and save it.

        This is something I do on every new install because the GTK dialogs with their buttons at the top and every other thing wrong with them hurts me deep inside to witness.

      Have you considered that maybe people actually like the thing and wanna use it but can’t because of a stupid design choice made by the dev team headquartered all the way inside their own asses?
