Desktop Icon missing on my desktop
I am using pop os and when I make a desktop shortcut for my games, the icon would just be a gear. How do I make it so that it would have the csgo logo.

Here is the how it looks like on my desktop

find image for icon in google, edit desktop file by pointing it to that image. sometimes steam fails to create proper icons for installed games

In my system, the icons for my desktop shortcuts are located in $HOME/.local/share/icons/hicolor/ (each folder has a png with the resolution specified in the folder name). If you still can't find the icon for you game there, steam normally has zip files with all the icons in $HOME/.steam/steam/games, so you will have to unzip the icon you're looking for.

yeah I right clicked the icon and changed it to the csgo logo but its still the same picture of the gear.
