Hi! Sorry if this seems a bit of a stupid question.
I’ve been looking for a bit and it’s now 2am, so, I would hope that you all would be able to provide a good answer! I give my appreciations in advance.
Anyways, I would like to run a VPN software, specifically, ProtonVPN, on startup. Why? Because, I quite like having it active the moment my system starts running, and it helps remind me to activate it before I use it. It’s already installed, working perfectly, I just can’t figure out how to get it running on startup.
If any of you could give a solution, that’d be great! I’ve tried using the terminal, the console, but, all sources seem to be either for Ubuntu, or use depreciated methods.
Again, thanks in advance to whoever wouldn’t mind helping a tired moth out!
You could install Ignition (likely installed by default). It lists existing autostart entries and allows to create new ones easily using a beautiful GUI.
You could also simply add a .desktop file of your program to ~/.config/autostart.
If you’re using the KDE Plasma version of Bazzite, go to the System Settings app, and at the very bottom in the System section there is a category for Autostart. You can add whatever apps you want to autostart there.
If you’re using GNOME, the only way I know of is to install gnome-tweaks if it isn’t installed already and add startup programs from there.
I did install KDE on this BAZZITE Distro… I had no idea there was an ‘autostartup for apps’ option, I had already done it with Ignition, but… when I opened the autostartup options in system settings I noticed LACT was an entry… so good way to confirm I guess… thanks dude
