Since 1Password for Linux (ARM) doesn't currently include a launcher icon, I created a one on my Asahi Fedora MacBookAir. I am passing this along to anyone else who doesn't want to enter '1password' in terminal all the time.

The first step is to install 1Password on Asahi Fedora if you haven't already. Those instructions are here: https://support.1password.com/install-linux/#other-distributions-or-arm-targz

Here are the steps to create a launcher file so it will appear in the launcher and can be pinned to the dash.

  • Open your favorite text editor app or command line editor
  • Paste the following content into the editor

[Desktop Entry]
Name=1Password
Comment=1Password
Exec=/opt/1Password/1password
Icon=/opt/1Password/1password-8-icon.jpg
Terminal=false
Type=Application

  • You can change the Name, Comment and Icon filename and path as needed.
  • Save this file as 1Password.desktop in the /usr/share/applications folder or move it there if using a terminal editor.
  • Copy your icon image to the path value after 'Icon='
  • An icon can be found searching the internet for '1Password icon image'

You should now see the icon appear in the Asahi Fedora app launcher and you should be able to pin it to the dash.

I have included the icon I use (1password-8-icon.jpg) as an attachment.
