Description
Why use a systemd module rather than using a crontab entry like this:
```
@reboot bash -c "export DISPLAY=:0; libcamera-hello -t 0 --autofocus-mode continuous"
```
I think that having a crontab script is easier than creating a systemd module.
Edit: seems like you want to load up the desktop before starting the camera.
