This has now been implemented for mac + windows as a v3 plugin.

I see it's there for Linux & works on GNOME/KDE. Should this be closed? https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/blob/v3-alpha/v3/plugins/experimental/start_at_login/plugin_linux.go

@leaanthony as the plugin in Wails 3 has been deprecated, could we consider reopening this ticket? If you want i can take this up.

Thanks for picking this up @ansxuman ! I believe most of the code is there to reference but it might also be good to look at the libraries listed in this thread to understand perhaps better ways of doing it.
