That helps, but how deep is the personality change? Is it kde settings, or is it like ~/.config level, or do applications even not see each other?

Your explanation makes Firefox awareness 1000x more interesting, I used to run multiple profiles in parallel before Firefox containers but this would be nice to have contained work profiles, at the moment I just use chromium for work and Firefox for literally everything else.

@InverseParallax @semperverus if I understood https://yuenhoe.com/blog/2012/08/associating-firefox-profiles-with-kde-activities/ correctly, it uses a protocol called XSMP which programs need to support, but for me it only ever changed things inside plasmashell so either not a lot of programs support XSMP or XSMP doesnt work on Wayland. I think it would be more useful if it integrated Flatpak and snap, and used them to mount a different config directory based on the activity an app was launched it but idk if that would work well
