Here’s how you can create a .desktop file to open a website:

1. Create the .desktop File

Use a text editor to create a new file with the .desktop extension. For example, create example_website.desktop:

nano ~/example_website.desktop

2. Add the Following Contents to the File

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Example Website
Comment=Open Example Website
Exec=xdg-open https://www.example.com
Icon=web-browser
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;

• Name is the name of the shortcut.
• Comment is a description of the shortcut.
• Exec is the command to execute, which opens the specified URL.
• Icon is the icon to display for the shortcut. You can specify a path to a custom icon if desired.
• Terminal should be false for GUI applications.
• Type should be Application.
• Categories help organize the shortcut in application menus.

3. Make the .desktop File Executable

chmod +x ~/example_website.desktop

4. Move the File to a Suitable Location

To make the shortcut available on your desktop or in your application menu, move the file to the appropriate directory:

• For the desktop:

mv ~/example_website.desktop ~/Desktop/

• For application menu:

mv ~/example_website.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/

Here’s a full example:

1. Create the .desktop File:

nano ~/example_website.desktop

2. Add the Contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Example Website
Comment=Open Example Website
Exec=xdg-open https://www.example.com
Icon=web-browser
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;

3. Make it Executable:

chmod +x ~/example_website.desktop

4. Move it to the Desktop:

mv ~/example_website.desktop ~/Desktop/

Now you should have a clickable shortcut on your desktop that opens https://www.example.com in your default web browser when clicked.
