Easier way to open the program when not set to auto boot. A simple desktop icon that doesn't request how to open file.

Yeah, this is not super friendly for non-linux fluent folks. But here's how you do it manually:

open a terminal:

cd ~/Desktop
touch ./launchPikaraoke.desktop
nano ./launchPikaraoke.desktop

Opens nano text editor. Enter the following in the file

[Desktop Entry]
Name="Pikaraoke"
Exec="/home/pi/pikaraoke/pikaraoke.sh"
Type=Application

ctrl +x to exit and save

Hi Vic. Is this also applicable to Ubuntu or Debian.

is there an autoboot also for non-raspberry pi devices.
