  • XP-7 had this right with a folder in the start menu for startup items, just drag a file or shortcut there and it runs on startup.

    It’s the same in 10. This is actually one thing I find obnoxious in Linux, even as a user for 25+ years… menu “shortcuts” aka .desktop files are harder to make and poorly documented.











  • That’s what most laptop OEMs do.

    Dell is just “rebranded” Compal, Quanta, Clevo…

    That’s not a bad thing and the ODM/OEM system is not anything new.

    Sometimes the difference is just the badge, sometimes it’s firmware changes too, sometimes it’s completely customized to the OEM specifications.

    It has varied a lot over time and mostly depends on how big the OEM is and proportionally how much time/effort/expense they want to throw at a particular design.
