You can also delay startup of certain applications, if you wish.
There's nothing worse than autostart applications that I don't regularly use. I would never autostart steam.
Is there really any application that people have on autostart other than a backup program or VPN?
Even as a minimal Sway user, I have, apart from the usual daemons like clipboard managers, spotify-tui, KeePassXC, Discord (just canary.discord.com in its own FF instance) and Firefox in my sway config. As they all have dedicated workspaces that aren't on the main screen, it doesn't annoy at all and with 16 GB of RAK I don't notice the extra 2 GB usage. I use them all anyway, so why not autostart them?
There is an awesome screeshot tool in windows called, ShareX. It basically saves images in different folders based upon month and year, ad has better screen recording tool compared to windows native one.
You could use Linux
Good idea, then the programs won’t pop up on start up because I can’t figure out how to install them in the first place
Literally just type "Steam" into whichever program manager your distro came with.
The linux hard meme is getting old, guys. Its not 1992.
Not as old as the "You could use Linux" meme
Shut the fuck up every fuckin thread, guys 😂
I've typed furiously steelseries in Linux but still can't install their software so that I can configure the macro buttons on my keyboard.
But that's more a steelseries problem than a Linux problem.
Hard, maybe not, but tedious? Definitely
sudo apt install steam
No need to thank me
yay -S steam
Now you're getting it
Big brain move, don't have to worry about auto start if all the programs don't work on the operating system
(This is a joke)
Nowadays Firefox is the only program I have on autostart, and I'm proud of that ;p
