📰 Ubuntu 25.10 No Longer Includes Startup Applications Tool
Want your favourite app to start automatically when you log in to Ubuntu? You used to reach for the Startup Applications tool, but in Ubuntu 25.10, it’s no longer there. Ubuntu 25.10 ships with GNOME 49, and a new version of the gnome-session package. This is what previously included the GUI startup applications tool, making it easy to add custom commands, launch noscripts, and daemons and so on on each time you login.

Ubuntu 25.10 No Longer Includes Startup Applications Tool
The way to autostart applications in Ubuntu has changed, as the standalone 'Startup Applications' tool not included in 25.10 — don't panic; it's still possible.

📰 This extremely creepy remote-controlled ESP32 facehugger is perfect for Halloween
We love our DIY Halloween decorations here at XDA. In fact, our resident SBC enthusiast, Jeff Butts, discussed how to make a haunted house using a Raspberry Pi. However, there is one thing that all of the projects we cover have in common: they're only spooky in the silly sense. They may be fun little ghosts or portraits that look at you, but at the end of the day, they're harmless and a ton of fun.
