  • It is actually very easy, on Gnome you need to open nautilus(Files) then right click the corresponding file type, click “Open with…” and select what app you want it to open with and if you would like to make it the default. Which funny enough is done the same way in MacOS. You just overlooked it.


    PS:This method automatically writes changes to ~/.config/mimeapps.list

    PS2: Usually you can find answers to this questions in the documentation with a quick online search.

    Ok, and what is you point? The app I use is under 10MB and the data under 1MB. I do not know how can a log of calls and contact list be over 500MB. Another app I tested 18MB and 200KB of data. So you either have a contact list over 100 000 contacts or google contacts is abnormally huge. In the end is still 5-10x the size of alternative contact/dialer apps.

    Its safe to delete my man, its just 700 of your nudes.

    Jokes aside its just a phone app that integrates with google services which is convenient but you know… using google is allowing google in your kitchen. So its basically “telemetry”.

    You can use whatever app you like, preferably FOSS is the last thing I mentioned is what you are concerned about.
