Similar to the Windows “Startup” folder, if you want to launch applications when you log into GNOME, you need to go to System >> Preferences >> Sessions. Click the “Startup Programs” tab and then click “Add” button. You will then need to enter the terminal command to launch the program. The example I have shown below is “firefox.” This is very simple but not intuitive if you are new to Linux.
