$ rofi -show drun

try on your machine

The command "rofi -show drun" is used to launch the Rofi application with the "drun" mode enabled.

Rofi is a window switcher, application launcher, and dmenu replacement for X11-based desktop environments. It provides a customizable and efficient way to navigate and launch applications.

The "-show" option in the command specifies that Rofi should display a specific mode or view. In this case, "drun" is specified, which stands for "desktop run". The "drun" mode shows a list of applications installed on your system, allowing you to quickly search and launch them.

So, when you run the command "rofi -show drun", Rofi will open up its application launcher interface with the list of installed applications, where you can type to search for the desired application or use arrow keys to navigate and select the application you want to launch.
