Also it's much easier to disable on Linux and not every distro uses the same program to start apps on boot so most annoying programmes can't find it. Discord (which I would ideally move away from if my friends didn't use it) certainly thinks it's enabled on startup somehow.

Windows seems to start some startup apps before you log in also worries me as that means malware could start before you are able to remove it and I don't know how to reach tty mode before reaching a gui so yeah...
