  Desktop mode, or do you mean nested desktop? Either way, I have not noticed that limitation.

    I meant nested desktop mode.

    Download a file from a webrowser in nested desktop mode and then check in normal desktop mode where the file is. Can you access/see it?

    I think it is just the thorough and thoughtful way Linux explicitly deals with folder permission structures, opening a nested desktop creates an enclose workspace within the current context, you aren’t supposed to use it to go everywhere and do anything on the OS I think.

      It’s fairly common to share the same home dir throughout multiple desktop environments, which is essentially what nested desktop is – just a way to launch a Plasma desktop inside an existing desktop. This isn’t like a flatpak or another isolation mechanism.
