Describe the bug
When opening VRCX it overwrites the .desktop file undoing any changes to it. This means on immutable systems like bazzite vrcx cant be launched anymore since you have to edit the .deskop file to make it launch under distrobox to use .net

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

install VRCX then close it
edit the .deskop entry
reopen VRCX and notes the changes get reverted
Expected behavior
The file should remain unchanged

What version you are running
Version 2025.03.01
