Looking for a good app launcher for Linux. Currently looking for something for Arch and I see there’s a lot of options liks rofi and wofi. What are your favourite app launchers and why?

    I use rofi as my app launcher and more. I’ve share my old script here.

    I have now extended this script to support the following:

    • execute a command if the input text belongs to /bin or /usr/local/bin
    • do some basic maths (using menu-calc)
    • open url in my web browser if the input text starts starts with http(s) or ends with .xxx (where x is any letter)
    • translate the input text in English/French using the deepl website if the input text starts with dpen/dpfr
    • search the input text with searx (if all the above failed)
    • manage my web bookmarks (using buku)
    • manage my clipboard (using copyq)
    • manage my passwords and autofill fields (using pass)
    • manage bluetooth devices
    • manage audio sinks and sources
    • manage my wifi and vpn
    • manage my tmux sessions
