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:

What is the appeal of the 'start menu' in so many desktop environments?
You'll probably like rofi.

Possible to filter clipboard when using `unamedplus`?
Also, I use this script so that Rofi will show my clipboard instead of the native klipper UI (because it's far less keyboard friendly). Normally the script works great, but the script chokes whenever I `dd` an empty line or a lone `\`, putting an empty entry on my clipboard, which the wrapper than assumes means I'm at the end of the list of clipboard entries.

Rofi dry run
Which rofi you run? The original one from https://github.com/davatorium/rofi (which is Xorg base, so it has to start XWayland) or the Wayland-based fork on https://github.com/lbonn/rofi?

What's your recommended launcher app in your opinion?
I like rofi (super flexible, i also use it as a custom alt-tab option in openbox) and wofi is a nice option on wayland

xfce workplace switcher in polybar
Modi are covered in the documentation. They set what Rofi displays in its window. You can run Rofi from a keybind, or a module in Polybar, or by using click handlers. Extremely extensible and versatile. And a shit ton of fun to theme. :)

A sensible NixOS Xfce desktop configuration
xwinmosaic: Having tried XMonad.Actions.GridSelect in the past, I found the 2-dimensional grid more confusing than useful because you cannot intuit where it would lay things out. I find Rofi to be more usable for window switching because it prioritizes text filtering. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi
