          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:



            create launcher on MATE DE desktop
