### Description

I'm a new user of DMS, I wanted to use hypr.lua for the dms-greeter instead of just the default hyprland one (which is in .conf) since it gives out the deprecated warnings. However, this makes a very long (8-10+ seconds) delay of starting the dms process after logging in. I have tried everything I could with Gemini's help since the documentation for dms-greeter is pretty much non-existent for troubleshooting.

### Expected Behavior

_No response_

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Add the default official hypr.lua config to /etc/greetd/ and use the same script.
2. Change the command to be like the one in the official documentation: command = "dms-greeter --command hyprland -C /etc/greetd/hypr.lua"
3. Restart greetd service using "sudo systemctl restart greetd"

### Screenshots/Recordings

_No response_

Start with the dms-greeter invocation using --command hyprland and -C /etc/greetd/hypr.lua, then reproduce the delay by restarting greetd. Compare the reported startup timing with the greetd journal logs; done means identifying and fixing the cause of the 8–10+ second delay when using hypr.lua.
