Quick Tip: Disable shortcut prompt on Linux AppImages

Just found this here, and I figured I can bring my blog back to some sort of life... maybe with quick tips...

Deactivate desktop shortcut prompt on GNU/Linux

This is a feature provided by AppImages, where the applications prompts the user to automatically register a desktop shortcut to easily access the application.

To deactivate this feature, touch any of the files listed below:
  • $HOME/.local/share/appimagekit/no_desktopintegration
  • /usr/share/appimagekit/no_desktopintegration
  • /etc/appimagekit/no_desktopintegration

Alternatively, set the SKIP environment variable before executing the AppImage:
SKIP=1 ./.AppImage
This is going to be useful as I customize Ubermix again...
