Please fix the issue where you change my default graphic card settings in the desktop file. It’s super annoying to have to launch from the cli after an update.

I don't know if this would help but it might be worth a try, make a file immutable by

sudo chattr +i /file/location

If it doesn't work change it back,

sudo chattr -i /file/location

Does copying the desktop file to the applications directory in ~/.local help?

I don’t know I haven’t tried that as I can go in and change the file, and set PrefersNonDefaultGPU=false and it works after that.
