The command "dex --autostart" is used to start the Dex autostart service.
Dex is a tool used to manage and launch applications that are installed on your Linux desktop environment. It provides a unified interface to access and launch applications from different desktop environments or window managers.
The "--autostart" argument is used to enable the Dex autostart service. When this argument is used, Dex will be launched automatically when you log in to your Linux desktop. This allows you to have quick access to your applications without manually launching Dex every time you log in.
