My favorite settings for GNOME

This category is for GNOME settings.

manage applications on startup in GNOME 3

Startup applications are automatically started when you log in. With the program gnome-tweaks you can easily manage startup applications.

After the program gnome-tweaks is installed

# dnf install gnome-tweaks

you can start it:

$ gnome-tweaks

The following picture shows the adding of an automatic start of a terminal emulation with the program gnome-tweaks after log in.

This generates the file: ~/.config/autostart/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop

From the directory /usr/share/applications you can also simple copy desktop-files:

$ cp /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop ~/.config/autostart/

With tool gnome-tweaks it is also easy to switch the buttons 'Minimize' and 'Maximize' on in the titlebar of windows.

Edit the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file and make sure that the [daemon] section in the file specifies the following:

[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=True
AutomaticLogin=username
