    of course you should if you don't like the software choices of your preferred distro. its their work hence their decisions and they are entitled to do what they like with it.

    yawn... Pen and paper used be the way to do things so whats your point? if you don;t like tightening up security on your systems, thats up to you. I presume most of the anti are like the manual workers of old who were worried that computers would take away their jobs and in this instance systemd is taking away manual tasks from you.

    eh? what on earth are you on about? are you replying to the wrong post? who said anything about malware being ok at any time? At least with this config change (if you keep it), if it is running it will be killed when you log out.

    good grief. if all your scripts of 10 to 20 years are without any modification in any way, that's future proofing in the extreme. (or no updates at all)

    he's done his research before making accurate comments which more that i can say for 99% of the anti's. and i posit that the security of knowing what is legitimately running on my system after log out is reason enough.

    unfortunately 99% of the troll or anti comments are from people who have not done any research or RTFM at all and make knee-jerk comments based on their ignorance and the ignorant comments of others.

    RTFM and you'll find the solution. Basically, you configure the things you want to stay running explicitly so a little config is required to set that up then at least you know what is still running are logout is designed and permitted to be running. its tightening up your security.

    I use KDE and if i log off and use another user, i can still see processes from my previous user session. So its more like these process don't obey the commands to shutdown properly.
