I have been having this weird issue with Ubuntu-based distros that I cannot add the Libre office start menu to either my desktop or to the favourites. I can barely find it via the dash and when I right-click it, there are no options whatsoever? I hope I am making sense. If I travel to /usr/share/applications I can launch the start centre from there. If I move it to my desktop (Pop!_OS) it will show in my ~/Desktop folder, but does not actually appear there visibly. It is really weird.

  What happens if you type libreoffice in a terminal? And how did you install Libre Office? If you type sudo apt install libreoffice, what is the message you get back?

Copy the .desktop file of the control center, /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-startcenter.desktop to your local ~/.local/share/applications folder. Change the line NotShowIn=GNOME; to NotShowIn=, or delete the line. The launcher will now be found in your dash. You can launch it and then right-click the icon in your dash to pin it.

Some background: the line NotShowIn=GNOME; prevents the launcher from actually showing up in the dash. While you can edit the system wide desktop file, it is safer practice to copy the .desktop file locally and edit it there. You do not need root permissions for that, and your changes will not be overwritten by future updates. You can edit the system wide file if you want the change to be effective for all users on the system.

  Thank you! That is so weird that they would remove that for the gnome version... but I guess it may mess with the ideal workflow of Gnome? IDK, still weird.
