Hi guys, I recently installed Linux mint on a spare laptop I had to check if I can daily drive this and since I run Syncthing Windows setup on this device before and I essentially want to replicate that setup here which means Syncthing starts up automatically on login but with the condition that the device should be connected to ac power and if it gets disconnected kill the process right away. I could easily have this in Windows setup and also in Syncthing-fork for Android with a simple toggle. How can I replicate this Linux mint as well?

Ok so ask ChatGPT then? last time I told people here that sometimes you can use AI for answers too. They all said I'm wrong and I should ask the community and search forums for it which I did but couldn't find anything

Goomba funnel fallacy.

What you refer to as "people here" (singular entity that seems to contradict itself) are in fact multiple people with opposing opinions. And you won't get a representative slice of the total population to respond evenly in every thread. Some threads get dominated by opinions that dislike AI, others will be more differentiated, other will be AI fanboys.

Try out all suggestions and then think for yourself to decide which one works best for you.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
