I've just switched from Windows to Linux and I'm really enjoying it! Currently, I'm using ZorinOS. I've managed to run a couple of Windows programs using Bottles without any issues. However, I have a question: Can I create desktop shortcuts for programs so that they can be launched with a double click, similar to what I'm used to on Windows? I'm looking to help others transition to Linux, so setting it up this way would make it easier for them.

Absolutely! ZorinOS is built on Gnome, and you can definitely use a desktop icon extension. I recommend checking it out, it makes handling applications much easier! Let me know if you need help with the installation.

Yes, you can create desktop shortcuts on ZorinOS! Even though it's not the default setup like in Windows, there's an extension called 'Desktop Icons NG (DING)' that lets you do this. Just keep in mind that the typical Linux mindset favors single-click to open applications—it's a change from Windows, but not a bad one! Plus, it’s been proven that people adapt to new habits, just like how we all switched to single-clicking on smartphones.
