    To be fair IDK how to tell a Windows program how to start up automatically if it didn’t have an option for that in it’s own settings… I’d have to search for a Windows guide

      “shell: startup” or “shell: common startup” in an explorer window take you to the startup folder for your user or all users. Drop a shortcut in there and you’re done. Been that way for decades.

          The problem is that you’re trying to do shit like if you were still on windows. Linux doesn’t really have startup applications, we use daemons for everything that needs to start with the OS, everything else is meant to be launched manually.

          However you can still do what you’re asking for, and it’ll depend on the DE not the distribution. Ubuntu and Pop OS use gnome that has an option to set startup programs in gnome tweaks.

            In steam there’s a config option to launch on boot… But yea, all the arguments I’m seeing here is rooted in folks not wanting to learn. Switching to Linux is about as annoying as switching to osx. Yea there’s growing pains but no one ever uses these same bullshit excuses for that.
