Distributions can cause Solaar can be run automatically at user login by installing a desktop file at
`/etc/xdg/autostart/solaar.desktop`. An example of this file content can be seen in the repository at
[share/autostart/solaar.desktop](https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar/blob/master/share/autostart/solaar.desktop).
