Not sure why I tried to do that. I knew when I did it that it wouldn’t work and I was kicking my self for being stupid when the prompt showed up asking me to confirm that I wanted to download to that location. My jaw hit the metaphorical floor!

Now I’m wondering what other neat tricks I’ve missed over the years!

To be clear this is in Firefox on NixOS with the KDE6 desktop environment. No clue if it works on other browsers, DEs, or OSs.

    KDE’s Discover pretty much does what you want in terms of being an all-in-one GUI package manager. If you’re comfortable with the terminal, topgrade can upgrade pretty much everything and offers great flexibility is terms of configuration.

    Also, a good rule of thumb is that, if you want GUI programs that show up in “start menu”, search specifically for GUI programs. In this case, that would be something like Peazip. In KDE, the file manager Dolphin can extract stuff for you using Ark, which is installed by default.

    I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect CLI programs to appear in the “start menu” because they are usually intended to be launched from the terminal.
