Enabling the program to start at book using systemd is unreliable, per the documentation at this time. Therefore, they implemented a script to autostart it like a desktop application. This might not work for everyone's setup depending on your DE. You basically just need to run "libinput-gestures-setup start" at each de login somehow.
