desktop files are defined in XDG spec. See
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/ and
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec/
So, .desktop files are understood by XDG-compiant desktops and apps. Now
every desktop environment on GNU/Linux actually supports these specs.
Gnome and KDE do. Some others also do. Otherwise, one needs to install
xdg-utils or similar package manually.
Also, a number of applications, expect xdg-open executable to be
available on GNU/Linux systems as a generic way to open files using
"right" application. Including Emacs itself - see
`browse-url-can-use-xdg-open', for example.
