guys! I have a little question here.
I'm currently running Ubuntu 17.10 (no LTS).
I'm curious since Ubuntu 16, is it possible to add Application or Shortcut or anything beside folders on the desktop?
Really appreciate for any answers you all guys!
Thanks for reading.

I read all solutions from possible duplicate - they demonstrate systematic illness of modern GNOME DE.
So the most user-friendly way is to install MATE DE (ubuntu-mate-desktop package) and create application launchers here on desktop:
- with simple drag-and-drop from Applications menu to desktop
or
single right mouse click on desktop and selecting Create Launcher menu item from here:
