Hi guys,

Who is stronger a donkey or a horse?

I have an issue with opencode desktop. I downloaded it, couldn't start it from bash so I clicked the icon in the application menu. Nothing happened. Although suddenly a bit later my computer has 17 GB of what looks like binary data in some share folder or wherever.

Can you make it actually start and actually not suddenly create gigantic shady folders on my computer?
