Customizing a distro's launch process

Mike Griese edited this page May 26, 2017 · 4 revisions

One of the core goals of the Distro Launcher is to enable distro publishers to control & customize various aspects of the distro launching process.

For example, you may want to configure a user's environment variables, run updates, or display a message of the day (MOTD).

Of course, be sure to only execute essential operations within the LaunchDefault() method to avoid slowing the launch speed of your distro. This method is run whenever the user runs launcher without any arguments from the commandline, or launches the tile, so you shouldn't be putting a lot of heavy work in here.

Examples:
