So I finally switched my desktop from windows to EOS after years of running headless linux servers.

I’m having a good time of it but I want to be one of the cool kids and use a tiling windows manager. And ive been loving that too. Except I can’t get links to open from discord and steam can’t open the file browser. I could just boot into KDE or GNOME to add non-steam games to my library but I don’t want to goddamnit. What can I do to start fixing this issue? Haven’t found any solutions online.

Edit: looks like I found the solution, portal was installed but never ran at startup. A quick exec inside the sway config has solved my issues. Thank you everybody!

    Thanks! This fixed part of my problem lol. The “browse local files” button works but if I want to add a non steam game or customize said non steam game with images, that still doesnt work. Which is… Odd.

      That’s odd 🤔

      Just for the protocol: besides installing it you also launched xdg-desktop-portal, right?

      /usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal -r & /usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk
      

      Also you need both, xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-[your choice].
