I turned my favorite Linux terminal apps into desktop apps so I could launch them with one click
Terminal-based apps are awesome, but if youβve ever tried to use them, youβre probably already aware of their biggest annoyance: you have to open a terminal and type a command every time. They donβt show up in your dock or app launcher the way regular desktop apps do. Thankfully, thereβs a quick and easy fix for that. Itβll hardly take a few minutes, and youβll be able to give your terminal apps their own icons and entries in your application launcher.
