Probably the simplest way to configure fullscreen or maximized mode is 
to customize |initial-frame-alist|

(custom-set-variables
  '(initial-frame-alist (quote ((fullscreen . maximized)))))

         To avoid the slightly distracting visual effect of Emacs 
starting with its default frame size and then growing to fullscreen, you 
can add an the above lines to .emacs.d/early-init.el instead of .emacs 
(thanks Chad). This has been successfully tested in GNU/Linux (both X11, 
and Wayland), and Windows.
