Why need this ??? if you need auto start then add the app in exec-once

I agree. We dont need another utility, just add the program you want to launch on exec-once

I know it's for app startup but don't need this script in hyprland because in hyprland exec-once used for auto startup that's why don't need this script
Every cli and gui app can be launched with exec-once in hyprland which starts the app as soon as hyprland starts so its like reinventing the wheel which adds maintainance burden

I know this is why i mention the it opens that app like other DE
my consept why i need to define eatch programm manually on there to open
why not just make a script which autometicly do that
from inside the app is that a bad idea ?
I hope this from the Hyprland Wiki is fruitful for the discussion at hand.
Systemd users can also start Hyprland, using uwsm. This is the recommended method of launching Hyprland on systemd-based distros, as it provides additional features such as xdg-autostart support, launching any application as a systemd-unit with uwsm app helper, and the ability to enable services for programs that rely on a graphical session and provide such services (e.g waybar).
Unless I am blatantly mistaken, uswm makes this PR rather unappealing.
