Telegram on Korora 25 Cinnamon

[JaredBusch]

Has anyone used the Telegram desktop client on Korora 25 Cinnamon?

I downloaded it

Extracted the archive

And I can execute it and use it. But it did not automatically setup a launcher link. Other have reported that it did so on Fedora with Gnome 3 and KDE as well as Ubuntu.

Just symlink it in one of your PATH folder.

I eneded up making a Telegram.desktop file.

Really I was mostly annoyed that it does it natively on Fedora 25, but not here.

Moved Telegram folder to /opt and then edited (created) /usr/share/applications/Telegram.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Telegram
Exec=/opt/Telegram/Telegram
Icon=/opt/Telegram/telegram128.png
Type=Application
Categories=Network;

I had to go download telegram128.png separately. Also annoying.
Google gave me this site to get it. http://deshack.net/install-telegram-for-linux-as-an-application/

right click and save if you want it yourself.
