Graphical Environments & Desktops • proper way of autostarting required services without a DM

$

What is the appropriate way of launching new login sessions to ensure required scripts & services are ran? Using i3 window manager on testing release and launching it from ~/.xsession.

Some programs install systemd services and those launch just fine. Others create .desktop entries in ~/.config/autostart/. Then there's /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ containing scripts setting up the xsession.

Essentially I find myself a bit lost in which directories need to be sourced to ensure environment is correctly set up and services started. Is there a reference to take as an example?
