Idk if titles can be updated but consider chmod 666
- Yup, it can be edited. This is not Reddit. :)
- Done. Thanks!
You... You wouldn't actually do this, would you?
- @Ging @nutbutter it's freedom of init system choice!
  
  You're not wrong, but ...jesus what is that homeserver? I'm gonna go clean the coffee off my monitor now
Ooh do snap next
- And then apt?
  
  There was a mote of an idea floating about a few months back you've reminded me of. Basically distrohopping the hard way - start with one distro and install/remove packages until you've gotten to another one.
- Oh that's nasty. Yeah, do it!
No idea what you're taking about, but I'll always upvote this picture.
Installing Arch with extra steps
How does one actually use systemd? I tried making a script to trigger every time I boot up but it didn't work out for me
- This should work. Add a file /home/username/.config/systemd/user/my_cool_service.service with this content:
  unit
  
  [Unit] Description=My cool service [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/home/username/my_cool_script.sh [Install] WantedBy=default.target
  Now add the script /home/username/my_cool_script.sh.
  bash
  
  #!/bin/bash echo "Hello from my cool script."
  Enable and run the service.
  bash
  
  $ chmod +x /home/username/my_cool_script.sh $ systemctl --user daemon-reload $ systemctl --user enable my_cool_service.service # Optional: $ systemctl --user start my_cool_service.service $ journalctl -e --user-unit=my_cool_service # You should see the echoed string from the script.
  The service should now run every time the user username logs in.
  
  Oh, thanks! My distro has a package that has a bunch of visual configurations that reset on boot and I wanted to do my configs on top
- Did you set the WantedBy field?
  Did you systemctl enable the service?
go get em, tiger
chmod 640 for the win.
