Sequential and parallel execution of long-running shell commands
A similar tool I highly recommend: https://github.com/justanhduc/task-spooler
At first I thought it would just be a one-off tool I used for one of my projects, not until I discovered later that it has everything I need and became my daily driver ever since.

GNU Parallel, where have you been all my life?
Wow this tool is fantastic, thank you! The UI is very nice and simple. How has this not existed in Unix for 30+ years?

Another alternative to xdgopen is jaro. There is a config that overrides xdgopen system-wide and it can handle alternative programs inside and outside of terminal. It also has alternative openers selector, but i haven't tried it yet as probably it's better to use mimeopen --ask as it lists all possible openers, but jaro can use dmenu (or maybe even rofi) as selector outside terminal

If you use jellyfin jellyfin-mpv-shim lets you play streams in mpv without worrying about transcoding.

Other fun tricks
If you use jaro instead of xdg-open you can make video links automatically open in mpv while regular web links open in your browser of choice.

If you use elfeed its nice to watch video entries in mpv without a side trip to the browser. Stolen from Prot somewhere or other.

doesn't matter which distro you use. all that matters is you enjoy it. (*holy distro war starts in the comments*)
Oh, and I'm dicking around with jaro as well. Mimi allegedly can do similar-ish stuff, but jaro specifically seems to make it pretty easy to open specific website URL's in a special application, so if I click on a youtube or tiktok or whatever video link that ends in a video file extension in Discord it'll just open up in mpv directly with a sponsorblock script. Trying to find a maintained Reddit client that can be passed URL's in a similar fashion, but not as much luck - it'd be cool, though.
- Is there a GUI or useful/useable app to control what app is run by xdg-* processes?
What are some alternatives?
