I would name it desktop environment configuration since OS may have more
settings and it is your issue.
These settings likely alters ~/.config/mimeapps.list
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/mime-apps-spec/mime-apps-spec-1.0.html
"Association between MIME types and applications"
Unfortunately Emacs does not support this part of XDG specs, so there
are no ready to use functions to work with .desktop files and MIME
associations. You may add entries calling xdg-open for file types you
wish to the `org-file-apps' custom variable.
Likely the following entry in `org-file-apps' to override maicap by
xdg-open may allow to achieve what you expect:
(system . (lambda (file _link) (browse-url-xdg-open file))))
However links with page numbers (supported for "docview:" type out of
the box) will not work with such generic handler.
