I'm trying to figure out how files associations work in Ubuntu 18.04.
I looked around the web (quite a lot actually) and found these files:
- [
A]/etc/gnome/defaults.list - [
B]/usr/share/applications/defaults.list - [
C]~/.config/mimeapps.list - [
D]~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
One of the most informative pages I found is ArchLinux XDG MIME Applications.
A and B have the same content on a fresh install but there isn't a symbolic link from one to the other. I understand that A is for Gnome desktop and B is the distribution override.
So my question is about the user override:
Gnome documentation says thatDis the user override
ArchLinux XDG MIME Applications says thatDis deprecatedDdoesn't exist anymore in 18.04 (I think it did in Ubuntu 16.04), onlyC
I'm then asking:
- Which one should I use between
CandD? - Bonus: What's the history of these files?
Thanks!

Not sure if your list is extensive. If however your want to look extensively for all possible list try: sudo grep --include *.list -rnw '/.' -e "extension_looking_for" This is going to take quite some time but will deliver all possible lists
