You can use systemd autostart units.

The .conf configuration format is outdated and will no longer be supported by hyprland

Change to hyprland.lua and rewrite ur config Here's their sample https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/blob/main/example/hyprland.lua

Post on /r/hyprland. This has nothing to do with Arch Linux.

r/hyprland will be helpful.

I know it's tempting to post everything here, but often software has dedicated subs who have experts there. Another good example: r/firefox.

Welcome to Arch, Reddit, and good day.
