In Linux Mint I just click on the Start Menu and type "Start" and then click on "Startup Applications" a window opens then I click the + to add a application. Could not be easier, the whole process is intuitive, commonsensical, it has no "Help" button not even a "About" button, its not needed, it just works, not sure why every operating system created does not have the same. Thanks for your video and the web page I will be giving this a try on my Pi4 very soon.
I haven't used Mint for a while but I believe that adds an application to the startup folder for the window manager. That is useful if you want a desktop application to start automatically when you login, however it is limited in what it can be used for. If you want a server daemon to run regardless of the desktop then you need to use an alternative. You may also need to create your own .desktop file if you are adding a program you have created yourself. The systemd startup also provides a lot more control, such as the ability to run as a different user. So whilst the graphical startup tools are useful for desktop users sometimes you may need to go "under the hood" and edit config files.
Well Thanks, I've tried and it works. Thanks so much for great video.
This worked for me, thank you for the video.
