In Gnome Desktop :

Alt-F2

Then type :

gnome-tweaks

(this works in Solus Linux 4.1)

There you can input the starting applications.

I&#39;ve tried that on a Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine (with Gnome Shell<br>
3.28.4) and my conclusion is that it works but is quite complicated to<br>
install. Here are the steps that worked for me:<br>
<br>
(1) Install package manager for Node JavaScript platform:<br>
<br>
$ sudo apt install npm<br>
<br>
(2) Using npm install the linux-window-session-manager package:<br>
<br>
$ sudo npm install -g linux-window-session-manager<br>
<br>
(3) Install GNOME Shell extensions integration for web browsers (this<br>
is required for the next step to work):<br>
<br>
$ sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell<br>
<br>
(4) In Firefox (or Chrome) open<br>
<a href=3D"https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1323/window-session-manag=
er/" rel=3D"noreferrer noreferrer" target=3D"_blank">https://extensions.gno=
me.org/extension/1323/window-session-manager/</a><br>
and enable the Window Session Manager extension by turning the ON<br>
switch.<br>
<br>
After that the Gnome extension displays an icon in top panel where you<br>
save your windows session before logging out and also restore a<br>
session after logging in.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

&gt; Thanks. This looks like it has the solution, but it doesn&#39;t. The<b=
