How to Create a .Desktop File for Your Application in Linux - Make Tech Easier
A .desktop file is simply a shortcut that is used to launch applications in Linux. Without the .desktop file, your application won’t show up in the Applications menu and you can’t launch it with third-party launchers such as Ulauncher and Albert.
Most applications, when installed, will create the .desktop files automatically and place themselves in the “Application” menu for quick access. However, if you compile a program from source or download an app in archive format, this may not be the case and you may have to open the terminal to execute the binary every time you want to use it. Obviously, this can become a very tedious and troublesome step. This article will describe how you can create a .desktop file for any application you use that you can launch from the “Application” menu.

How to Install Plex in Ubuntu 22.04
Plex is a streaming media server that allows you to store and access the media content on your system from any device. Based on the client-server model, Plex turns an ordinary system into a full-fledged media server. All media files are stored in a single system with a Plex server installed. The server organizes the media from your collection and online services. You can then access the media on the server from any smartphone, smart TV, or streaming box. All you need is to have a Plex client installed on these devices. Then, you can connect to your Plex media server to access all the media content. You can install the Plex media server on Windows, Mac, Linux, and NAS OS.
This article will show you how to install and setup the Plex media server in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. It is recommended to use the static IP on the server machine so that it will not get changed when the client tries to access it. For installation, you will require the sudo privileges.
Open the command-line Terminal application to install Plex. Use the Ctrl+Alt+T keyboard shortcut to open the Terminal.
