    Previously, users had to manually configure their desktop environment
    to open 'org-protocol' links in Emacs.  On any XDG-compliant system,
    including GNU/Linux and some others, these links should now open in
    Emacs automatically

1. GNU/Linux by itself is not XDG-compliant. Only some desktop
   environments are.

2. System does not have to be fully XDG-compliant. It is enough that
   some apps (like Firefox) follow XDG spec and that xdg-utils is
   installed.
