(I have very little experience with running stuff via "desktop icons" in
Linux, and no experience at all with "Linux Mint/Mate/etc", but still...)

I know from chatter on the Rpi board that it is possible to setup a
"desktop thingie" in RaspiOS-with-LXDE and that there is an option (a box
to tick) in the desktop thingie that says to not prompt for whether or not
to run it in a terminal - i.e., to just go ahead and do the right thing
(whatever that is).

I'm guessing that the same is possible in your DE.
