<pre>xdg-open is currently unusable for magnet links on desktop environments that
rely on the 'gio open' handler (and gvfs-open on gnome 3.24+). Here are a
couple bugs for context:
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1426299">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1426299</a>
<a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779182">https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779182</a>
While the second bug is working on a possible fix for the issue in gio-tool
itself, it isn't clear that the change is going to be implemented anytime soon,
and applications that currently rely on xdg-open for certain URIs such as
magnet links are broken. I'm not exactly sure what additional functionality
would be lost by just using the generic handler, but at least that one works in
this situation where gio is trying to mutate the URI incorrectly.</pre>
