Firefox has this feature too, just saying

Same. Hexchat + znc = peak of software development

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

In Lubuntu there's an autostart section of the session settings, and I had to put Nextcloud client AppImage in there because it wasn't starting automatically. But maybe LXQt is unusual? IDK.

Anyway, it wasn't that hard. I didn't even have to do a Web search or use the terminal, just opened the system settings and looked around for something that looked like autostart.

What open source stuff? Asking for a friend

Oh, I get it

Oh dude great idea! Also if you did it with hair ties you could keep extra hair ties that way! (Albeit stretched out)

Instead of "Windows add app to startup" I would search "Ubuntu add app to startup" and limit it to articles posted in the past year. Maybe not obvious but not that different honestly.

On the other hand, no amount of searching got my laptop's volume up and down keys to work in Ubuntu :(

Thanks for dropping that knowledge... Perhaps in years and years hence I'll search "Windows add app to startup lemmy" to remember how to do this... I'm much more used to using msconfig to tell Windows apps NOT to start up automatically...

Not really true imo. A lot of stuff is automatic. In kubuntu now, most of my apps from last session starts back up when I turn the computer on. Steam, rhythmbox, nextcloud client like I was saying, and all kinds of stuff start automatically as desktop apps. Panel applets are basically auto start apps.

One thing Linux doesn't really do though is autostart stuff you don't want.

I hope this is not fallout from the 404 Media article
