There are two scripts being executed that end up starting the firefox binary. None of them seem to be doing anything to make it so that firefox could assume higher priority. After that, there is systemd[2241]: Started cgroupify@app-gnome-firefox-152280.scope.service. systemd[2241]: Started app-gnome-firefox-152280.scope - Application launched by gnome-shell. in the journal. That service is a file that doesn't seem to exist, and I can't see its contents: ls -la /run/user/1000/systemd/units/invocation\:app-gnome-firefox-152280.scope lrwxrwxrwx. 1 ... ... 32 Jan 16 10:47 /run/user/1000/systemd/units/invocation:app-gnome-firefox-152280.scope -> 47228f6ad8054d29a0d20c5517b76757 A file 47228f6ad8054d29a0d20c5517b76757 is not present where the link points to.

Well, xorg is not longer maintained, and there is no version of fvwm that would work with wayland. That only leaves either KDE, Gnome or sway. I don't get along with tiling window managers though tiling with fvwm was actually great. You get the best of worlds with that. Someone needs to make a fvwm version for wayland so we can have a decent window manager again, and all the other software needs to be improved so it doesn't have all these dependencies that don't even let you do the most basic things like adjusting the font size. > All I learn about those is when trying to help others keep their > system afloat (yes, for someone coming from the Dark Side and > not wanting to tinker, something like Gnome or Mate does make > sense). Well, yes, when software doesn't do what it is supposed to do, that means it's not working right. Give it a little time and sofware will only do what /it/ wants and nothing else :( We'll all be forced to go braindead then, or have to escape this planet.
