CORRECT! And you haven't provided any evidence that I am wrong. AND even if you do for some reason continue to need to the this a GUI application was already pointed out "alacarte". > Q: What if I use multiple version of Firefox and each of them has > different profile? If you launch Firefox once with the "-ProfileManager" option and create multiple profiles then it will ask you what profile you want every time you launch it ever after. > Q: What if I need to launch a JAR application? If you need to launch an application then you create a launcher. That is a total of *once*. And this is not an end-user activity. Second step, since you are a developer, is to file a bug with the application's maintainers to include an XDG .desktop file in the package; attach the one you created to the bug report. > Q: What if I need to open a website? "open a website"? That is what browser's are for. > Q: How to check detailed hardware information of my machine? This has nothing to do with a desktop environment. You have Yast, GNOME System Monitor, and "Details" under control panel. Probably there are other applications as well.
