Making CoolerControl's GUI start on login - 3 May 2026
CoolerControl ships a system daemon and a separate Qt GUI. The daemon controls fans at boot regardless of login, but the rpm doesn't install an autostart .desktop for the GUI, so the tray icon never appears. Drop one in `~/.config/autostart/` (or use Plasma's System Settings → Autostart) to fix it.
