Subject: [PATCH] feat: implement smart compositor entry point (start-hyprland
 vs Hyprland) (#1211)

* Adding a way to use the start-hyprland wrapper when it's needed from Hyprland 0.53 it's recommended because offers more security if happens a fail

* Deleting unnecessary things and doing verifications

* fix pre-commit
