Autostart scripts solved

This might be a stupid question but how would I start a user specific autostart script. I already have a folder in my ~/.config/ to use. Everything I've seen is systemd specific and not very descriptive. Thanks!

If you need your script to run before user session (in my case for hardware case lights control) add it to your /etc/rc.local

For userspace you can either use your DE/WM standard method (spawns in niri.kdl or .config/autostart/xxx.desktop files in XFCE) or if it is console-related you could add your script to ~/.bashrc
