Description
The [archive](https://wsr.imagej.net/distros/linux/ij153-linux64-java8.zip) contains `ImageJ.desktop`.
1. How is that file created?
2. The [installations instructions](https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/docs/install/linux.html) do not mention this file. It’d be great to document, that it should be copied to `~/.local/share/applications/`.

Research direction
Inspect the linked Linux archive and the Linux installation instructions first. Determine where ImageJ.desktop comes from, then update the installation documentation to explain copying it to ~/.local/share/applications/. Done means both the file’s source and its installation step are documented.
