How to restore apps installed in home folder(somewhere there) after reinstall Ubuntu (restore in Applicaton menu - cmd + a / win + a)? In order for me to be able to use them, add to favorites...
For system wide installed apps, desktop launcher files are installed in a specific location, /usr/share/applications for applications installed using the APT package management system. Launcher files are small text files with the .desktop extension, that provide information to the desktop environment about the application (how to run it, what icon to use, etc.). These launchers are automatically read to build the application menu.
For installations you perform manually, i.e., applications you install under your home folder, you need to install such launcher files yourself under your local .local/share/applications folder. Launchers you put there will appear in the application menu for your user only.
Thus, find or create yourself application launcher files and place them in that folder. These files may or may not have come with your application.
Check your PATH variable echo $PATH and make sure the location of the apps is listed in the output you get from the echo $PATH command if the location of the apps isn't listed in the PATH variable you'll need to add it in your bashrc export PATH="/path/to/apps:$PATH"
