huh… weird.

what should I change in the exec field on the .desktop file so that it logs to a file (can’t find a proper solution online).
Maybe that’ll clear something up?

ACTUALLY:

I just noticed something. So the ‘autostart in plasma’ option wasn’t checked for Discord (even though i’m 200% it was).
So I checked it.
Rebooted.
Discord launched and was logged in (so kept it’s settings I guess).
BUT when I checked the Autostart again in the system settings now. That checkbox was UNCHECKED again.
So somehow it’s not saving that checkbox… or changes it?

Yeah, there is something to it. I was able to reproduce the issue you described on a very old VBox VM install, but nothing concludent to shade some light of why is happening.
Try to force fix the ownership of your home directory to your user if only this is the issue at hand.

If you use autologin, sometimes the files get owned by your username and the group autologin , and that changes sometimes too, making some settings to not survive the reboot. I have no clue why does that sometimes, but i did noticed it.

Just so I don’t fck anything up. What is the exact chmod command I should run on my home directory?

sudo chown -R $USER $HOME
should do it.
