ggplot2: custom categorical labels on a numerical x axis

I'm a heavy user of ggplot2 but somehow I'm struggling to solve this problem.

For example, I have a plot like following from ggplot2

enter image description here

Here I want to remove x-axis labels and add "start" and "end" respectively at 0 and 100. I've seen some posts here on how to add custom labels to ggplot2 but it didn't help me to solve my problem. I was wondering is it possible yet all somehow.

Thanks a lot.

We can use scale_x_continuous's arguments breaks and labels here.

set.seed(1)
DF <- data.frame(x = -10:110,
                 y = rnorm(121))

ggplot(DF, aes(x, y)) +
  geom_line() +
  geom_point() +
  scale_x_continuous(breaks = c(0, 100),
                     labels = c("start", "end"))
