Why is MS teams autostarting with no option to disable in Fedora

1 - You don't 'autostart' anything in linux without permissions

2 - If you insist, give me a damn option to disable (and no, I'm not logging into to teams to get more options) (and for shit's sake, remember that setting cross upgrades)


You do realize if you keep going against the grain for linux users, we will just prevent you from adding the file ... right?

for now. Removing this autostart virus, and will stick with Slack since they -- you know -- know how to follow other paradigms instead of forcing their own down my throat.

For anyone else:

in ~/.bashrc

Removing the MS Teams autostart virus (by definition) since Microsoft doesn't know how to follow other's standards


if [ -e "~/.config/autostart/teams.desktop" ]; then
rm -f "cat ~/.config/autostart/teams.desktop"
fi

No need to blow away the entire config file. Just set the X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled option within ~/.config/autostart/teams.desktop to false.

MS teams is like a VIRUS. Even if you remove a teams.desktop it appears again after reboot and ms teams start again... Thanks MS, now I don't know what is happening on my PC :|
