Broad Terminal Compatibility & Flatpak/Desktop Launch Improvements

This version significantly expands Bootc-Manager compatibility when launched via application menu shortcuts (.desktop files), ensuring native support for a wide range of terminal emulators across various desktop environments (GNOME, KDE Plasma, COSMIC, among others) and distributions (Fedora, RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Arch, etc.).

What's New

Expanded Terminal Emulator Support

  • Increased Compatibility: In addition to ptyxis and gnome-terminal, the script now detects and automatically re-executes itself within the following terminals:

  • GNOME Console: kgx and gnome-console (default on AlmaLinux, RHEL, and recent GNOME installations)

  • KDE Plasma: konsole

  • COSMIC Desktop: cosmic-terminal

  • Modern & GPU-Accelerated Terminals: ghostty, kitty, and alacritty

  • Classic Fallbacks: x-terminal-emulator and xterm

  • Standardized Execution Syntax: Refactored the $CMD variable with proper quote escaping, preventing syntax errors when passing shortcut arguments in Bash/Zsh.

  • Error Handling: Displays an informative message via stderr if no compatible emulator is found on the host system.

🛠️ Fixes and Adjustments

  • Resolved .desktop Launch Failures: Eliminates the "unable to find terminal required for application" error when opening the script via the application menu on enterprise or atomic systems that lack a pre-installed ptyxis.
  • Standardized Final Pause: The exit message displayed when the script is launched via the GUI has been adjusted to accept any key press (Press any key to exit...).

How to Update

To update the script to version v0.6.0:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diogopessoa/bootc-manager/main/bootc-manager.sh -o bootc-manager.sh
chmod +x bootc-manager.sh
