So, you want to 'do a pewdiepie'....have firefox open pc startup ??

Autostart works differently on the various desktop environments, it also works differently on labwc or whatever wayland versus xorg.

On xfce and lxde I just copy the app's .desktop file to the autostart directory.

I have deleted former #46 to former #58, as all 13 posts were off topic.

Please try to stick to the subject, which is about placing apps or scripts in Autostart, so that they start when you reach your Desktop.

TIA

The Raspberry Pi forums have a couple of great threads on Autostart.
labwc/wayfire/wayland https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=379321
thagrol has an excellent guide as well: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=314455

The biggest problem is all the different wayland composters, hyperland, labwc, wayfire, etc, as they all work differently.

You can do this with probably any of the apps pinned to your panel......I chose Librewolf, Thunderbird and Firefox, because that is what I use.

I run Linux mint cinnamon 22.1

Right click on the firefox icon on your panel; and select edit. Then copy the command there (firefox %u)

Then open Startup Applications from the menu

click on the + sign down the bottom, and then Custom Command

Give it a name (Firefox or whatever...)

Paste the copied command in the 'command' box

You can delay the startup if you wish....I delay them by 2, 3 & 4 seconds

Be sure to click on ADD at the bottom

Reboot the pc

Voila....Firefox ! etc

I also do this with Thunderbird & Librewolf

have you seen his video? he used time command, 'time firefox', he didn't run any custom script with 'sleep 2'

once the app opens (1st boot) then booting it again runs the app much faster, he must have used extensions kdocker to run browser in background always, that's why he said it's a silly fix
