How to create the .autostart directory?

Question

I saw that using the .autostart directory in a Linux system makes applications start automatically when the system is started. The problem is that the .autostart directory is not present in my Ubuntu system although I run this command : find / -type d -name '.autostart'

So how to create the .autostart directory and where to create it appropriately ?

Answer 1

You create it with mkdir in the home directory.

mkdir ~/.autostart
