Asked By SillyDuck47 On

I've just downloaded Godot and I want to make it easier to open without having to dig through my folders every time. How can I create a way to launch Godot using the superkey and find it in my programs? I'm running Nobara Linux.

To make Godot easily accessible, you need to create a `.desktop` file in your `~/.local/share/applications/` directory. You can find other `.desktop` files there as examples. Just create a new file named `godot.desktop` and set up the parameters to point to the Godot executable. Here's a quick template:

```
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Godot
Exec=/path/to/your/godot/executable
Icon=godot_icon
Type=Application
Categories=Game;
Terminal=false
```

Just replace `/path/to/your/godot/executable` with the actual path where Godot is located.

Another way to do it is by using an AppImage. If you downloaded Godot as an AppImage, you won't need to create a custom launcher. If not, check out the Flathub version of Godot; it simplifies the installation!

I didn't get an AppImage, just the launch file, but I'll look into the Flathub version!
