Can't pin some apps to dock

I installed “Terminal” via Software/Flathub and can run it from ptyxis using the command “gnome-terminal.” That’s fine, but I can only run a terminal by invoking it from another terminal. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: It isn’t found in the apps searchable from Overview, nor in Show Apps.

After getting gnome-terminal started, if I right click the icon in the dock, it does not give the option to pin it to the dock. Is there some way to get it on the dock?

(There are 1-2 other apps that won’t pin to the dock, but they do show up in Show Apps with everything else. gnome-terminal is the only one that I have to launch from the command line)

gnome-terminal is included, no need to install it, it’s just hidden by default.

Copy /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop into ~/.local/share/applications then edit out the NoDisplay=true line in that file and it should show up.

That worked. Marked as solved. Thanks!
