I'm sure everyone knows this, but `open` has an equivalent on Linux: `xdg-open`.

Except xdg mime types are easily heist-able by programs and there is no universal truth for it.

Install vscode on Linux and have fun with it hijacking opening directories. Which is easy enough to fix (with a bit of know how) or work around but annoying.

MacOS is far from perfect but open always doing what I expect is a good example of what Apple did well.
