System-wide autostart files

Note: this directory is also being used as ~/.local/share/applications which populates the app menu, my autostart is thankfully not this populated.

  • redshift - app that changes screen temperature along the sun
  • telegramdesktop - IM app, based on telegram-desktop package
  • com.wire.WireDesktop - Wire flatpak based on the flatpak of the same name

a-*.desktop

These files belong to /usr/local/share/applications and are named so to avoid masking package manager. They have clearly different names such as using all caps. To refresh them:

sudo update-desktop-database -v /usr/local/share/applications
