Dear Chandy,
The only words I can write right now are thank you so much for sharing this thought with us.
I will continue my studies and hope to one day help as many people as you have helped me now.
You gave me direction.
Thanks so much.

I uninstalled and reinstalled base Ubuntu, and Debian from my Windows Terminal.
When they were reinstalled, their names and respective icons simply do not appear in the settings menu.
The programs are installed on the machine, but I don't know how to put them back in the menu through Settings, Settings.json.
Can you help me figure this out?
Thanks so much!
