Re: [arch-general] KDE plasma, baloo and UI/video playback freezes

I'm a quite new user of Arch and in general I'm very satisfied with it! Since I've installed both Kde/Plasma and Gnome on my system, I've two question for you: 1) In a Gnome session, which file should I edit to make folders on my Desktop open with Nautilus, when I double click on them? I've
