Hi y’all, I’m on EndeavourOS, wondering if I can get Steam to start minimized/tray. I know about launch commands, but I don’t know where to put them in on Linux. I tried right-clicking the app & going into the Properties, then adding -silent to the Arguments under the Application tab, but that did not do anything.

Help would be appreciated. It is also my first time using Linux.

EDIT: SOLVED by @[email protected] Thanks, everyone, for the help!

    In ~/.config/autostart/steam.desktop look for the line Exec=steam %U and change it to Exec=steam -nochatui -nofriendui -silent %U

    It’ll start up minimized to your system tray

      The line “Exec=steam %U” doesn’t exist in steam.desktop. I did find “Exec=/usr/bin/steam-runtime %U” so I’ll try changing that.

      EDIT: this worked, thank you very much!
