Generate .desktop-style launchers for Jupyter that allow you to one-click into a fresh shell + other Jupyter config

jupyter_setup.sh

# I miss the simplicity of launching a fresh shell when using Jupyter
# This is my wonderfully weird way of fixing that (at least on Linux)

# Config and desktop integration:
jupyter notebook --generate-config

# Manual stuff:
# Add to launcher at positions 3 and 4 respectively
nautilus ~/.local/share/applications/ &
# Launch both and mark as trusted
# Go into applications and look for "New" to add it manually

# Find an ipynb and set "JuPyteR" manually in nautilus

# The one downside to this approach is leaving a ton of random jupyter servers running all the time
# Just run:
# kill $(pgrep jupyter)
# to fix it
