Trying to set up Cerebro on Fedora
In my quest to make my GNOME look and feel like a Mac (I'm sorry, i love the look), I've been trying to set up Cerebro app I use the prebuilt AppImage executable, but it won't work. At first, I was having an error about libva drivers, which I managed to solve, so I can at least run the AppIMage initially, but all it does is open Cerebro to my top bar and the options menu. Whenever I click on "toggle cerebro" (as shown in the screenshot below) i get the following error:

Ubuntu for a Mac user (SWE)
And, albert https://albertlauncher.github.io/ would be the default spotlight alternative, but in my experience it's not that snappy and doesn't behave exactly as you'd expect. imo the default gnome search function is fine

Albert launcher update!
It took quite some time, but after years of overhaul, testing, and patching I'd like to introduce Albert. New features (since 0.18) include an abstract plugin system, custom triggers, an API which got more developer friendly and of course feature rich for both C++ and Python plugins, plugins come with more features, search is even faster, UI is nicer, Qt6, C++20… Give it a try and let me know what you think.
