    Normally I’m cool with all the suggestions to use Linux when Windows is making itself worse. It provides a FOSS alternative that avoids the new anti-feature.

    But this is not an attack on Windows. Linux has startup apps as well.

      Linux apps generally don’t ask for this permission unnecessarily though. I remember back when I used windows everything I installed was bundling its own update manager that runs at startup etc.

      I’ve never had any startup apps (Linux mint)

        KDE starts whatever was left open on my distro, and that did cause issues with apps that minimize on close, but I learned to close from taskbar and I understand why those apps do that. I actually had a harder time getting my vpn to start on startup

        It’s okay if you want to click things all the time

        So what, when you turn on your computer it goes straight to the BIOS menu?

      Nope you need systemd or something else to start them as far as I know.
