Is there really any application that people have on autostart other than a backup program or VPN?
Even as a minimal Sway user, I have, apart from the usual daemons like clipboard managers, spotify-tui, KeePassXC, Discord (just canary.discord.com in its own FF instance) and Firefox in my sway config. As they all have dedicated workspaces that aren't on the main screen, it doesn't annoy at all and with 16 GB of RAK I don't notice the extra 2 GB usage. I use them all anyway, so why not autostart them?
I guess my old school mentality is slower startup speed. But now that I think about it, it’s not really an issue with nvme drives.
There is an awesome screeshot tool in windows called, ShareX. It basically saves images in different folders based upon month and year, ad has better screen recording tool compared to windows native one.
