KeepDisplaylinkRunning

A LaunchAgent to keep DisplayLink always running. Useful for the first M1 Macbook Pros that dont support duel displays without this workaround.

I made a mod where I removed my broken screen on my M1 and I always need the DisplayLink App running, any time I would unplug the usb-c cord it would close the app so plugging it back in was a nightmare to get it up and running again.
