You want to login at tty and have the wm/desktop open up right away, you don't want to see the tty and have a DM show you a login screen or you want to boot and go straight into the DE without any login involved?  The last is what you commonly find on a live image.  Since it works on MATE-OpenRC  iso it should be able to work on an installed system as well.

I'd like to autologin, and auto start X, both things.  This has the effect of starting up on your session at once, just blocked by password in my case given I block the screen on the very beginning.  To answer your question, yes, that's what you asked I believe.

What you suggested in another email, on just auto starting X, after the login on VT1 is good enough to me (no auto login).  Actually I like it, and I'm already migrating from auto login to that.  My only concern with it, is whether there's a chance for any other virtual console where the init lands, other the the 1st one, since it's for the 1st one that one regularly performs the X auto start.  At some point I remember starting on any VT, not just the 1st one, but I don't know if that has changed, and for sure the 1st one is always the one available after init.

Thanks !
