Hi
I have recently installed centos 8, but cannot figure out how to add an application to the 'Activities' menu or simply add a short cut to the Desktop.
Does anyone know how to do this ?
I found a link that suggested you need to add a .desktop file it /usr/share/applications - I did try to do this, but it did not work and I have no idea how to debug it.
