Hi y’all, I’m on EndeavourOS, wondering if I can get Steam to start minimized/tray. I know about launch commands, but I don’t know where to put them in on Linux. I tried right-clicking the app & going into the Properties, then adding -silent to the Arguments under the Application tab, but that did not do anything.

Help would be appreciated. It is also my first time using Linux.

EDIT: SOLVED by @[email protected] Thanks, everyone, for the help!

    Which window manager/desktop environment are you using? If you are using a desktop environment is there an application called startup applications or something of the like? I personally use my window manager’s config file to startup applications. EDIT: changed WM to window manager and DE to desktop environment.

        A window manager would be similar to your Desktop Environment - better explanation.

        Since you mentioned that you’re using KDE, there’s an option in system settings called “Autostart”. You can then add Steam to the list of applications (or terminal commands) that start automatically.
