Comment on [Frame] How do I get rid of this "Install Chromium" in my list of programs?

cd ~/.local/share/applications
cp /usr/share/applications/org.chromium.Chromium.desktop .
sed -i "$ a Hidden=true" org.chromium.Chromium.desktop

  That worked for me!

  For anyone wary of running random commands that you don’t recognize what they’re doing (as you should be wary of), I can vouch that is harmless. It copies a system application file to your local applications folder and then adds the “Hidden” attribute to the file so it won’t actually show up. Ran those commands, restarted my headset, and that program doesn’t show up in that list any more. Thanks!

  That’s very clever, I would’ve just deleted the file & the updates would’ve brought it back. (and TIL you can do this)
