How to make application launch on linux without downloads?
There is a task: to write an application on linux, so that it displays information on the monitor.
Therefore, it is necessary that the application displays the window in full screen at once, when it is turned on. No loading animations, welcome screens, desktop, etc.
Ideally, the console screen and immediately after it the application interface.
I'm not familiar with linux, but I'm sure it can be done. Tell me where to dig?
PS the application will be in python using QT, in the form of a "computer" there will be a Raspberry board

if you're talking about autorun applications with a graphical interface, then google "linux kiosk-mode" options in the sea.
What you are looking for is called a kiosk. Here is the first link I came across to an article about creating a kiosk with a Qt application for the Raspberry Pi.
The most technologically primitive option is to run the program immediately after the OS boots, configuring it to be displayed in the framebuffer (fbdev). Qt5 supports this. You don't need X or Wayland for this, but hardware acceleration will work.
The classic "correct" option is to make an X session (x session) that starts only your application, and boot into it automatically.
