Open Byobu here

Using byobu and trying to open a bash in a specific folder using "Open in Terminal" (Nautilus) will not result in the desired behaviour. Instead, byobu is opened in the current session, not at the desired location.

Steps

1. Create the file open_byobu_here.sh (see below)
2. chmod +x open_byobu_here.sh
3. For Nautilus, create a script folder mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/
4. Link the script ln -s ~/open_byobu_here.sh ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/Open\ in\ Byobu\ Here

Open Teams links in edge PWA, for all other links, use firefox (Linux Ubuntu)

Teams on Linux is currently only available as Progressive Web App (PWA). However, PWA are only supported in chromium-based browsers. For a multitude of reasons, you might not want to use chromium-based browsers as your default browser. This script opens links to teams in the PWA while opening all other links in firefox.

Finding PWA app ID and setting up the script

1. Install edge / chrome / ...
2. Install PWA for teams
