I was able write a test plugin and install it to QGIS (ver 3.24, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS). The plugin shows up in the dialogbox from the Plugins -> Manage and Install plugins... menu. It is shown under the Installed category but not activated (i.e. not checked) by default. So, it's not visible on the toolbar by default.

Is there a way to activate a plugin by default (so that it shows up in the main UI)?

How do you exactly activate the plugin?

To activate plugin find in file ~/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/QGIS/QGIS3.ini line [PythonPlugins] and enable your plugin below, for example:

[PythonPlugins]
your_plugin_name=true

If you don't know exact your plugin name, you can find it after installation on a line starting with:

plugin_installer\seen_plugins=
