Well, I gave #use-package an honest shot. I rewrote my #emacs config using it, 5000 lines of #Org file.
It all works. Cleaned up a lot of things, replaced old ways with new ways. I now know definitively that I do not like use-package. It adds unnecessary complexity with very little benefit. It doesn't actually load any faster than my old way, in fact it seems to be slower, doing less, from start up to prompt.

:bind, :hook, :custom, and :ensure are cool. But not that cool.

I don't hate it, I can see if all you want is to load a package, bind a key, set a custom var and add a mode hook it could be handy. I won't be doing that.
Today, I'm ripping it out.

I have a simple bash script that I hot-keyed to start up the apps I like running on my desktop. It starts my comic, Firefox, Keybase, etc. I tried to add Signal-desktop to it, but can't seem to make that start from a command line like everything else.

I'll paste a snippet of what I have below, but I'd appreciate any input on what the magic words are to make it run. Everything else runs as expected (except the commented out VLC, obs.)

#!/usr/bin/bash

sudo mount -a &
kstart ~/transgui-5.0.1-x86_64-linux/transgui &
kstart signal-desktop --use-tray-icon --password-store=kwallet6 &
kstart kasts &
kstart run_keybase &
kstart mcomix &
#kstart vlc ~/Music/KeepRadios.m3u &
kstart KonsoleStart.sh & #Use the link to the batch file or kstart5 flakes out on it.
kstart firefox &
