Then why my suggestion up-thread, viz.:
>> It applies to all operating system that use desktop environments
>> that comply with XDG so for example also BSD.

> Only XDG-compliant desktops? nothing else?
was rejected? The reasons given at the time were:
Well only those that handle xdg desktop files specific uri type
handlers e.g. Gnome, KDE, Xfce etc.
Not sure if there's something such as "fully XDG-compliant".
My phrasing only intended to explain that in theory any operating system
that uses xdg compliant desktop environments works with the change, not
just GNU/QT/GTK/KDE/GNOME Linux.
Specifically, with the following wording be accurate and clear?
** On capable systems, Emacs is now the default application for
'org-protocol'.
Org mode provides a way to quickly capture bookmarks, notes, and links
using 'emacsclient':
emacsclient "org-protocol://store-link?url=URL&title=TITLE"
Previously, users had to manually configure their desktop environment
to open 'org-protocol' links in Emacs. On any XDG-compliant system,
including GNU/Linux and some others, these links should now open in
Emacs automatically, as the "emacsclient.desktop" file now arranges
for Emacs to be the default application for the 'org-protocol' URI
scheme. See the Org mode manual, Info node "(org) Protocols" for more
details.
> Also, a number of applications, expect xdg-open executable to be
> available on GNU/Linux systems as a generic way to open files using
> "right" application. Including Emacs itself - see
> `browse-url-can-use-xdg-open', for example.
Is this related to the issue with org-protocol?
