    Weird that it doesn’t work. The usual way to run scripts on startup is through systemd units though. That has the added benefits of automatically logging all output and letting you control it through commands like systemctl enable <unit name>. It’s a really neat system, and I highly recommend learning it if you see yourself doing this kind of automation more often.

      I do that when I want it running with root privileges.
      In case of user privileges though, the autostart is a better idea.

        You was m can use user units too if you want them scoped to your user.

        I miss the days of just sticking it in /etc/rc.local

      Even worse than via some utility of your window manager
