@protonprivacy I am using Fedora (Gnome) and I would like to launch ProtonMail Bridge in background. But I don’t know how and cannot find a setting for that. Has anyone solved a similar issue?

    You can install gnome tweaks and there is section that allows you to have apps start on boot

      It seems, that I cannot answer from mastodon, therefore i will do it from lemmy.

      Launching the App at startup is not my problem (at least not for now). It is rather that I would like to have ProtonMail Bridge minimize into the background applications list (like steam does, shown in the screenshot appended).

        Try looking through the docs to see if there’s a command line option.

    For anyone who wonders how I solved my issue:

    I created the file ~/.config/systemd/user/protonmail-bridge.service and wrote the following into it:

    [Unit]
Description=ProtonMail Bridge Flatpak Service

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/flatpak run ch.protonmail.protonmail-bridge --no-window
Restart=always
RestartSec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

    If you are not using the Flatpack version of ProtonMail Bridge, then modify the ExecStart value to your installation.

    After that I ran systemctl --user start protonmail-bridge.service to start the service and systemctl --user enable protonmail-bridge.service to make it auto-start upon login-in into my account.
