+### Step 12 (Optional) Create a Desktop launcher for Wabbajack
+
+Once you're happy that Wabbajack is function correctly, you may want to create a Desktop launcher shortcut for our new Wabbajack-via-wine application. 
+
+Firstly, grab a copy of the Wabbajack icon to use:
+
+```
+wget -O $HOME/Wabbajack/Wabbajack.ico https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wabbajack-tools/wabbajack/main/Wabbajack.Launcher/Assets/wabbajack.ico
+```
+Next, create a new file in $HOME/Desktop called Wabbajack.desktop with the following contents (edit to suit your environment):
+
+```
+[Desktop Entry]
+Name=Wabbajack
+Exec=env HOME="$HOME" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" wine $HOME/Wabbajack/Wabbajack.exe
+Type=Application
+StartupNotify=true
+Path=~/Wabbajack
+Icon=/home/omni/Wabbajack/Wabbajack.ico
+```
+
+Unfortunately the standards for the .desktop file format require an absolute path for the Icon= entry, so it can't be shortened to $HOME or ~/ for ease, so you will need to specify the path in full for the desktop shortcut to have the Wabbajack icon.
+
+You should now be able to start Wabbajack simply by double-clicking the icon on your desktop.
+
 ### Post Wabbajack Steps
 
 The above will get Wabbajack installed and running on your Linux system. It *does not* however, take care of any installation requirements to get the modlist itself running on Linux. You can see my [other guides within this github](https://github.com/Omni-guides/Wabbajack-Modlist-Linux/wiki) for specific lists, or [general steps](https://github.com/Omni-guides/Wabbajack-Modlist-Linux/wiki/General-Linux-Guide-(Anvil)) to take, or you can use my [Automated Installation Script](https://github.com/Omni-guides/Wabbajack-Modlist-Linux/wiki/Using-the-omni%E2%80%90guides.sh-Automation-Script) to take care of things for you.
