Autostart a program after Gnome Shell Login Fedora 33

by | Nov 7, 2020 | IT Tips | 0 comments

This is how I autorun a Windows 10 Pro Guest on VMWare Workstation 16 on Fedora 33 when I login to Gnome Shell

Note: gnome-session-properties which some of my Google results would allow you to add a script to start at login no longer exists

Create a .desktop file. I called mine start-windows-10.desktop

# create the autostart folder if it doesn't exist
mkdir ~/.config/autostart
# copy the desktop file to the autostart
cp start-windows-10.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
