πŸ’– trabucco(1) β€” General Commands Manual πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to trabucco(1), section 1 of the General Commands Manual. yes the manual name is literally just trabucco, we're keeping it simple, we're keeping it iconic. πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

trabucco β€” Desktop launcher.

yes. that's the whole job. launching your desktop stuff. no cap. ✨


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

trabucco

that's it. no flags, no args, no drama. you just run it and it goes. main character energy, zero options. πŸ’…


πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

so like, first things first: Trabucco means trebuchet in Italian πŸ“ β€” and a trebuchet is a siege weapon, kinda like a catapult. yes we named a desktop launcher after medieval siege machinery. it's giving chaos, it's giving history, we're obsessed. πŸ”₯

then, when KDE4 dropped, katapult got replaced by krunner β€” and ngl, krunner has several drawbacks. 😭 several!! not one, not two, several.

so Trabucco is meant to overcome those drawbacks. and how, you ask? mostly by having a deterministic behaviour. 🌈 that's the whole vibe. it does the thing you expect it to do, every single time. predictable queen behaviour. πŸ‘‘


πŸ’œ that's genuinely the entire page bestie, it's a short one and we respect that πŸ’œ

signing off with the cutest lil footer: the page footer just says trabucco(1), from the General Commands Manual β€” so consider this your official goodbye kiss from trabucco(1). 🫢🌸
