Ubuntu – Missing “Wine Windows Program Loader”

kubuntuplasma-5wine

Installed wine stable, winetricks, PoL, Q4wine. No "Wine Windows Program Loader" entry on Dolphin context menu, neither on KDE launcher menu. Can only open .exe via Q4wine or console.

Kubuntu 18.04(Almost fresh install)
linux 4.15.0-20-generic(x86_64)
Plasma 5.12.4

Actually the launcher is misplaced in Ubuntu 18+, Ubuntu made a mistake, all the other distributions based on ubuntu including linux mint inherited the bug, nobody cared to fix

Run the below command in terminal

sudo ln -s /usr/share/doc/wine-stable/examples/wine.desktop /usr/share/applications/

Now right click the windows app and click open with , you can now see open with "wine windows program loader" in the applications list.
