>victory!!
>but wait— how to make this start up when I login?
>no autostart commands in Deepin’s simplistic settings

>,but you know what I don’t care to pop in a bootable ISO disc to delete that line, I’m just gonna say “screw Deepin and it’s win8-esque, wannabe-mobileOS interface” (as you can tell I wasn't impressed) and wipe the drive and reinstall Manjaro Architect but choosing a different DE
