Steam will no longer pop up at every startup if you use the latest beta (lemmy.world)

Jfc. Thank you Valve!!! I have long since lost track of how many times I have sworn at Steam stealing focus on startup, usually when I am entering a keyring password or something.

i usually just disable autostsrtup for basically everything that doesn't need to be running for my system to work or productivity tools (like sharex and powertoys)

I am coming at things from a different angle. Both being on linux, and having purposely added steam to start automatically.

Productivity for me, is having my workspace in the same state I left it -- so I can pick up where I left off. That said, I also work in IT and put system and software updates at an equally high priority.

Having browser, terminal, steam (so it can be running shader cache or updates, if nothing else) are all restored to prior state then allows me to enable various unattended upgrades and even restarts during off hours.
