Why is MS teams autostarting with no option to disable in Fedora

1 - You don't 'autostart' anything in linux without permissions

2 - If you insist, give me a damn option to disable (and no, I'm not logging into to teams to get more options) (and for shit's sake, remember that setting cross upgrades)

You do realize if you keep going against the grain for linux users, we will just prevent you from adding the file ... right?

for now. Removing this autostart virus, and will stick with Slack since they -- you know -- know how to follow other paradigms instead of forcing their own down my throat.

    For anyone else:

    in ~/.bashrc

    Removing the MS Teams autostart virus (by definition) since Microsoft doesn't know how to follow other's standards

    if [ -e "~/.config/autostart/teams.desktop" ]; then
    rm -f "cat ~/.config/autostart/teams.desktop"
    fi

    MS teams is like a VIRUS. Even if you remove a teams.desktop it appears again after reboot and ms teams start again... Thanks MS, now I don't know what is happening on my PC :|

    I have the same issue. MS just f off with your aggressive strategies. You are not achieving anything (especially when Teams loads faster than I can type the password into KDE wallet to connect to WiFi and just shuts down), but you are just pissing people off and making a mess!
