I made a small tool to make the Godot binaries runnable from the program launcher on linux

free plugin/tool

Like most people, I usually launch programs from some start menu, instead of navigating to the binary in the file browser. Godot is distributed as an executable, and while other options like the flatpak exist on linux, I found the official one to work best.

While it is easy enough to write a desktop file to integrate Godot better with the system this is cumbersome with the (thanks to this awesome community) frequent updates. I hence made a small tool to handle this task.

Hoping that this can help someone :)

Looking forward to any feedback
