Systemd Linger
TL;DR
Systemd's 'linger' feature allows user processes to continue running after logout, but recent Debian configurations can automatically kill these processes. This change helps reduce issues for less experienced users by preventing lingering processes that require reboots to resolve.
✦ Why It Matters
Consider adjusting the KillUserProcesses setting to enhance user experience on shared systems.
Key Takeaways
- Enable 'linger' to keep processes running after logout.
- Use 'loginctl' commands to manage 'linger' settings.
- Consider the impact of killing user processes on usability.
- Explore background service benefits for frequent reboots.
How It Works
The 'linger' feature allows user processes to start before login, enabling services like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to be active immediately. This is controlled via the 'loginctl' command, which can enable or disable 'linger' for user accounts.
