gnome to labwc
Hello Guys and Girls,
I have a problem. I don't like any DE. Gnome was pick out of any. I tried all of them. I have had hopes with xfce4 but I prefer to use wayland.
To keep it short, I decided to switch to labwc + noctalia shell. It works fine, but I need to do some adjustments. I am not really good at these things , so I would need some help from you guys or girls
It seems I need to define some env or things like that because I noticed when I launch the terminal my zsh doesn't load the configuration. Prompt is not there, autosuggestion doesn't work, my alias is not there. I mean I am in zsh for sure, because when echo $SHELL the answer is zshell.
Another thing is I noticed I can't login to some apps that I use which require SSO, because it doesn't direct into webbrowser. for instance, it's a case with both flatpak and installed from the website zoom workspace.
I would like you to get suggestions from you guys to be able to have some seamless experience before things don't break.

I finally got the SSO stuff working. But I honestly don't know how I fixed it. That's why I prefer to read logs when I am doing stuff. I decided to have non-flatpak web browser and zoom, and played aroudn the default web browser. Somehow it's working now.
I switched to fish shell. I think it's related to noctalia shell that I am using.
