a few sample `.conf` files. See `initctl ls` after boot for a list of
enabled and available services, you can then use `enable` and `disable`
comands to `initctl`, followed by `reload` to activate your changes.
You can also use a standard [/etc/rc.local](rc.local) for one-shot tasks
and initialization like keyboard language etc.
If you want to use the X Window system, `sudo apt install elogind`
(Bullseye and later). Followed by `initctl reload` (enabled by default)
and logout/login again. The elogind daemon ensures a regular non-root
user can start and interact with an X session, otherwise keyboard and
mouse won't work.
Have fun!
