@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?

It's not in the Bridge Command Line Options, but, depending on your install:

"/usr/lib/protonmail/bridge/proton-bridge-launcher" "--no-window"
- This did it, tanks!
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).
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.
Startup applications.

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