Fixed Snap app launchers don't appear on the MENU - zsh shell (Solved)

 So I've been running out of minds about how to fix Snap app launcher doesn't appear in menu, it is because I use ZSH instead of Bash so the snap doesn't know how to tell system that has new app installed through snap store.

The solution is simple just make a shortcut of /usr/share/applications/ to /var/lib/snapd/desktop/
Open up your terminal then run the following command carefuly:
            

        Copy snap store launcher if you have already installed Snap store and it didn't show up in the menu
                                                    
sudo cp snap-store_snap-store.desktop /usr/share/applications/

        Then rename folder
                         sudo mv /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications.backup


        Finally make soft shortcut of /usr/share/applications/ to /var/lib/snapd/desktop/
                    sudo ln -s /usr/share/applications/ /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications


So simple isn't it? Open your snap store and try to install a few apps.
