I came in to say bravo,
Since day 1 on Lemmy i been hounded by Linux dude bros , whenever I say Linux is not possible I been down voted to hell.
Even as simple thing as putting a program in start-up is hassle and varies depending upon distribution, and I went on rabbit hole just like you said.
Even the friendlier(?) versions like pop os and zorin in 2024 and no where near to use ability as windows 95 is.
The worst thing is use of command/terminal , I simple just don’t want to use it at all, but not possible to do that STILL in Linux and dude bros keep telling me this is essential and their grandparents are using mint. This is believable only if they surf Internet and not do anything extra at all, that too since flash is dead , cause I have first hand experienced that I had to play with multiple command lines and what nots just to get YouTube working on Linux .
Linux is not ready to be used in home setting not unless it simplifies further as much as windows does AND has lot ofnsoftwarws availability. Think of something and thwr is software for it on windows , hardly the case for Linux ANY DISTRO.
now we await on Lemmy , for Linux dude bros to come out and defend Linux with 4% usage and down votes.
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.
Okay here is question , show me how in 1.ubuntu 2. Zorin os 3. Pop os . Starting from making a shortcut to a program, by finding whwre is the executable of program.
It’s a rabbit hole
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.
