$HOME/.config/autostart is actually part of the freedesktop spec, and so should work with any freedesktop-compliant environments.

About

My name is Sonia Hamilton, I live in Sydney Australia. I work in IT, and previously I've been at companies like Optus, News Digital and Google.

I'm interested in all things Linux and Open Source, and I also enjoy martial arts - mainly Balintawak Arnis (Filipino stick fighting), and some BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu). After all that training, I do Power Vinyasa Yoga to stretch out and relax. I also enjoy foreign languages - I speak Spanish, as well as some Portuguese and French.
