You can disable startup programs via the Task Manager.

You can also delay startup of certain applications, if you wish.

There's nothing worse than autostart applications that I don't regularly use. I would never autostart steam.

Is there really any application that people have on autostart other than a backup program or VPN?

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.

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?

Nowadays Firefox is the only program I have on autostart, and I'm proud of that ;p
