# Fix MIME types on Arch Linux

There's a problem of `xdg-utils` on ArchLinux. Even if you have correct MIME database (for example, 
for new filetype), `xdg-utils` will completely ignore your filetypes.

The fix is to use `mimeo`. It seems that this MIME handler works fine:
```sh
paru -S mimeo xdg-utils-mimeo
```
