I am a Linux NOOB. Recently made the switch from Windows 10 and I am enjoying my Linux journey so far.
I just installed Awesome Window Manger recently. When I login to Awesome-WM for the first time, I found that my tap-to-click feature isn't working and it was irritating for me. So I used my googling skills and landed on this link and the fix worked!
Unfortunately this thing is not persistent between my login sessions. I need to do this every time while logging into Awesome-WM.
Is there any permanent fix for this?

Tapping and other touchpad settings are configured either through XInput2 as "device properties", or through Xorg.conf as settings for the 'libinput' driver.
Replace Touchpad_Device_Name with the device name (not ID number) that you see in xinput list.
xinput set-prop "Touchpad_Device_Name" "libinput Tapping Enabled" 1
