My knees are knocking as I post this request for help. I am a 77yo newbie to Linux in any form, and not sure this is the right way to beg for help. I have searched on the Wiki, but did not find applicable suggestions, so --here goes.
I wish to use a very nice marine navigation program called OpenCPN and have loaded it as a flatpak program. I can launch it via the terminal, but would love to have a single click icon. Right now I use:
flatpak run org.opencpn.OpenCPN and it runs just fine. Any help would be appreciated. I might add that this would be a good candidate for a Garuda inclusion.
I have done that, and i do get a nice icon that i can right click on and select pin launcher, but despite doing so, the minute i close the terminal the icon disappears. Any way to keep icon permanent (i.e. I guess automate the process)?
The minute i figure out how to do so i'll send it. Thanks for your patience. first bit of info is this is a Lenovo ideapad 100 with intel core I3. i will try to be back shortly.
in terminal
type garuda-inxi
then copy and paste in the terminal with ~~~ before and after to format the text.
or
goto
garuda welcome
then garude assistant,
then system specs
copy to forum
edit open cpn is in the aur repository already you do not need to run in a flatpac
All I can seem to find when i search using the top left Garuda button is a link to a website called bigdumboat. Is there another way to find pre-canned apps?

FWIW I tried to see if this conflict was my issue, but my search showed an answer to one forum post that:
" Uhm, this is actually meant to be this way - archlinux-appstream-data was replaced by archlinux-appstream-data-pamac for pamac-aur depends to get the "Browse" tab working. Also added this to the FIXED banner so nobody else has to search for it "
I am feeling rather stupid, as I am not sure when you say to "copy and paste in the terminal with ~~~ before and after to format the text." Do you mean that after if have run some command like sudo pacman -Syu and the result comes up that I should then copy that and then paste it in this reply box and manually insert three tilde symbols before the text and after the text? Like the following:
