Execute scripts/commands at boot without GUI enabled

I recently needed to run amdmemtweak right after boot, however the xinit.user.sh method doesn’t work for me, since I have GUI disabled, and then it doesn’t execute.

Found a solution in the meantime which works for me. It basically just creates a systemd service which runs a script at boot.
In my case I have to wait for /dev/dri/card0 device to be up before executing amdmemtweak. Of course, you should be able to see logs with: systemctl status amdmemtweak

This will create the files and enable the systemd service. Of course modify the script itself for your own needs.

cat > /home/user/run_at_boot.sh<<'EOF'
#!/usr/bin/env bash
$DEVICE="/dev/dri/card0"
# Wait for the device to be loaded
while [ ! -e  $DEVICE ] ;do
 echo waiting for $DEVICE
 sleep 1
done
