+~/.local/share/applications/
+```
+# System wide
+```
+/usr/share/applications/

+## Structure:

+Type=Application
+Name="Name"
+Exec="Command to be executed"
+Icon="The Icon"

+Categories="Categories";

+Icon=steam
+Terminal=false
+Type=Application
+Categories=Network;FileTransfer;Game;
+MimeType=x-scheme-handler/steam;x-scheme-handler/steamlink;
+Actions=Store;Community;Library;Servers;Screenshots;News;Settings;BigPicture;Friends;
