  • Hmm, why the bold?

    to distinguish the quote from my reply

    Maybe try https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47235022/add-a-custom-option-in-nautilus-right-click-menu ?

    Will do, i'll reply if it'll work or not.

    What did you put in the .desktop file?

    I put the following:-

     
        
    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=IntelliJ Idea
    Comment=IDE
    Exec=/home/user/Programs/IntelliJ\ Idea/bin/idea.sh
    Icon=/home/user/Programs/IntelliJ Idea/bin/idea.svg
    Type=Application
    Categories=Development;
    
    
      

    basically

     
        
    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=<Name that will be seen in the start menu for whatever DE>
    Comment=<Just write anything here>
    Exec=<Your executable or shell application location goes here>
    Icon=<Any icon you want to use>
    Type=Application <this is default, no change here>
    Categories=Development; <There are many categories, they go here>
    
    
      

    For 'Exec' and 'Icon', type the absolute path for both em like the example. As for categories, here they are below:

    • Audio
    • Video
    • Development
    • Education
    • Game
    • Graphics
    • Network
    • Office
    • Science
    • Settings
    • System
    • Utility
    • Other
  • I’d recommend converting to Kotlin, which saves a lot on bureaucracy and IntelliJ can easily do

    I'd love to, but my mind, time, and energy is being spent on other studies.

    https://askubuntu.com/questions/431703/how-to-add-open-with-custom-command-option-in-right-click-menu-of-nautilus might have what you want

    Didn't work, no new option appears after following the steps.

    Also, how’d you get the IntelliJ titlebar to work properly? In the new theme, I get two title bars on my machine.

    Easy, I made a .desktop file for IntelliJ and boom, no double title bars.

  • Because that's what I learned from Uni, didn't want that skill to go to waste. I was thinking about how it would be easier to make the apps (plain applications that use executables and shell to run) .desktop file without any hassle (for new Linux users).

    Also, Python was two semesters ago, so I forgot all about it.

  • I see, I didn't know KDE had that, does KDE allow java apps to be used as the right click action? As for GNOME, I'm still trying to figure it out.

    Until then, I will post the link to the app in the future. It needs some beautification, and quality of life changes so you and the others can use it as you use sudo apt update and upgrade to update your PCs.

  • An application and programs that use shell as their application, for example, IntelliJ IDEA use 'idea.sh' to run the IDE, so it would be useful for people to right-click and just create the '.desktop' file right away.

  • 8 gigs of update after leaving for 6 months is a sensible thing to occur. I don't know why it is a thing to be enraged by.

    I mean, if you don't update an OS and you come back to check go updates, it will pile on to become a huge update like the 8 gigs.

    Lastly, don't distrohop because it is not there, there is always something that exists that can give you what you want.

  • Basically, I should use docker as a VPS, right? The only thing I was taught in bootcamp was how to use docker to create a setup for a new dev for a specific codebase, i.e. download required packages to work on the codebase through docker and use AWS as a VPS using Elastic and S3 to display the website.
