def set_browser(browser: str):
    subprocess.run(
            f"xdg-mime default {browser} x-scheme-handler/http",
            shell=True,
        )
    subprocess.run(

            shell=True,
        )


work = Profile(
        programs={ # define some aliases for shorter commands later
            "firefox": "firefox",
            "thunderbird": "flatpak run org.mozilla.Thunderbird", # see 6 lines down
            "teams": "chromium --app=https://teams.office.com",
            },

            ("web", ["firefox"]),
            ("chat", ["mattermost-desktop", "teams"]),
            ("mail", ["tunderbird"]), # here we can use thunderbird insead of calling flatpak
            ("kp", ["keepassxc"]),
