Getting complex Linux applications to work in the same way across many setups seems tricky at first, but all you need to do is “think with portals”.

    It’s important to note that not all portals are implemented on all desktop environments. You can see this as a reference table: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Desktop_Portal#List_of_backends_and_interfaces

      You also use the portal helper from another DE though.

      For example, the Niri Wayland compositor, written in Rust with Smithay, uses xdg-desktop-portal-gnome (which I imagine is written in C).
