    1. Install powertop and run (with sudo) to see what’s consuming power. Use the tunables tab for suggestions on what can turned on or off.

  • If you’re talking about gnome, you might be referring to xdg-desktop-portal, which should link out of your browser and defer to your DE to complete the requested action by showing a local file chooser.

    If the browser is asking to launch another default application, it would call xdg-open, sending an email would be xdg-email, and so on. These are all part of the xdg-utils package, and a list of the tools are here.

    KDE has it’s own utilsnfor the same purpose.

    If yours isn’t firing, you may not have the proper extension utils installed. I would start your browser from the CLI, go to whatever page is expected to launch the file chooser, then see if you catch an error in the output when it doesn’t launch. That should tell you more.
