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.

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.
Even worse than via some utility of your window manager
You can also get cron to do it.
I miss the days of just sticking it in /etc/rc.local
