How to Open File Manager Instead of Terminal When Selecting Files?

To get your GUI file manager to open properly, you need to set Thunar as the default file opener for directories. You can do this with the following command:

`xdg-mime default thunar.desktop inode/directory`

Then test it by running:

`xdg-open ~/.minecraft`

This should open Thunar for you. If it doesn't work right away, you might need to ensure that the 'xdg-desktop-portal' and 'xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland' packages are installed. Sometimes, Wayland setups have trouble with these, so double-check that, and then restart your session!

I faced a similar issue when starting out on Arch as well! Setting up the default file handler can be tricky. Just remember that sometimes additional packages are required for full functionality. It's great that you're enjoying the customization aspect of Arch, but don't hesitate to check out some user-friendly tutorials online if you get stuck.

It can indeed be a hassle! On Arch, since you're not using a full desktop environment, you'll need to configure the default applications. If you’re willing to stick with Arch, I recommend setting up the 'XDG handler for directories'—that should do the trick. If you find that it’s still opening in the terminal, consider looking for 'gvfs' support as well, which can help in managing file associations. But honestly, if all this seems too complex, you might want to explore more user-friendly distros!
