I am using WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04 inside Windows 10. xdg-open currently opens something called gv: as the default pdf viewer. I would like to use zathura. I couldn't find any .desktop files in the WSL2 environment. How do I change the default viewer for PDF files?

  • Are you sure you're using Ubuntu Core 20 and not Ubuntu 20.04 under WSL2? I didn't think the *snap* only releases were supported under WSL2. https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6?activetab=pivot:overviewtab – guiverc May 20 '21 at 23:36
  • I meant Ubuntu 20.04. I didn't realize there was an Ubuntu 20. – Anupam Sobti May 21 '21 at 13:01

    Please correct your question... Ubuntu has had *snap* only products (using *yy* format unlike standard *deb* based releases that use *yy.mm* like 20.04) since 2016. – guiverc May 21 '21 at 13:16

I was able to make Zathura the default PDF viewer using the documentation here.
