I'm creating shortcuts for Syncthing, when I noticed this: Is there supposed to be a "~" after the folder name?

There's a convention to append a tilde to files/folders that are backups, so presumably some app at some point made a copy of /usr/local/share/applications, and then the original one got deleted?

That's odd. I'll delete it since it's empty and create a new one called just "applications". I tried having both yesterday, but it didn't work even though I put the Syncthing .desktop files inside and restarted my PC.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
