The decision to hide the LO startcenter launcher was recently questioned
in a thread at the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list:

I too would like that launcher become visible again. It's not only about

Genius! This is not a bug. I am very flabbergasted to find out there is
a line of "NotShowIn=GNOME;" in the desktop file since I try to debug
why the start center simply don't show up in the gnome app search
results. When you edit multiple kinds of office files, the start center

This is not just my personal preference, this was requested by actual users.
Not everything can be put to some kind of vote first, or we'd have brexits all

This was not a "bug", but more so a preference. It makes more sense to
have 1 icon that represents the entire suite than separate ones for each
application IMO. Not a fan of the M$ way. This should have been put to

annoying to have

Given the discussion on the debian bug, I chose to implement this using
"NotShowIn=GNOME;" for the startcenter and math desktop files.

For completeness: grouping all the libreoffice icons into an app folder¹
was considered, but dismissed as going against the upstream GNOME trend.

Why would you want to run Math separately?
> @Jeremy: are you aware of another mechanism to hide some apps from the
applications list by default, without making them completely invisible
to the user?
No.
Well, I mean there is a bit of a hack. You could move the .desktop and
appstream metadata
That can be achieved by changing the NoDisplay key to true in the
corresponding desktop files
