How To Change File Associations on Kubuntu

This article will help you configure file association on Kubuntu. File association, also known as "Open With", is the configuration that determines what application opens what file type, such as PDF should be opened with PDF reader, MP3 should be opened by MP3 player and so on. Every system has its own file associations. When you have many applications and choices, you might need to change such association so your favorite file type can be opened by default with your favorite application. We will show you it is easy to do on Kubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish". Now let's start it out!

Kubuntu 22.04 with Legacy Oxygen Theme

This tutorial will help you using silver, metallic theme "Oxygen" that was popular in the era of KDE 4 on the modern Kubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish". In short, we will use Elarun as wallpaper and Oxygen as the rest of the whole themes including application style, colors, icons, Plasma style, and splash screen. All in all, we want to offer the best visual experience we had in the past to new generation of Kubuntu users as well as the long time users themselves especially those who appreciate nostalgia. Finally, we hope you will enjoy this!
