Gui Startup Programs
Which program runs first after the computer is booted and before loading the GUI?
After the computer boots, the BIOS/UEFI firmware runs first, performing hardware checks and loading the bootloader. The bootloader then loads the operating system kernel, which initializes the system and starts the init process (or systemd on modern systems). The init process is responsible for starting system services and the login/authentication process. Authentication (user login) occurs before the graphical user interface (GUI) is fully loaded. Therefore, the first program related to user interaction after boot and before the GUI is the authentication process (login manager). Options like Desktop Manager, File Manager, and Windows Explorer run after the GUI is loaded and after successful authentication.
