When I install games, I enjoy having shortcuts for the games on my desktop and in the applications menu. This works fine, but there are compatibility apps that only exist on steam such as "Steam Linux Runtime ([version here])" and "Proton [Version/Experimental/Hotfix]". These show up as shortcuts on the desktop if you install them with a game that you choose to create a shortcut for, but they are not games and do nothing. I'd love it if you could update the code that creates shortcuts to simply NOT create these shortcuts for the compatibility stuff. Thank you.
