Hmmm I’m not sure what’s causing this issue. Do you these lines in ~/.config/mimeapps.list?

[Default Applications]
text/markdown=vim.desktop

If not, xdg-open tries to guess what you want to open the file with by executing a bunch of commands like xterm and x-www-browser.

Do you these lines

No I did not have...

Is it safe to manually add to this file - or will some software override it?

Hey, sorry for the response. Yes, you should add this file. Replace vim with whatever application you want to open markdown files with.
