Disabled service can be started if some other service depends on them. For example dbus services will be started on demand if some application calls the API.

Yes it is.ShaunTheSalvo wrote: ↑2022-08-09 09:42 I might try this as an addition to my system. Do you know if masking through systemctl is permanent - ie it will remain as is after a reboot?
Thanks. I think it is safer (?) to use disable than mask; the former is disabled at boot time and will be started sua sponte whenever needed.
Somewhat yes. However, the moment that I login the various part of Gnome will invoke these dbus interfaces so unless I mask them they will be running all the time. I guess masking the service is still safer than removing the whole package.
I used the Ubuntu 20.04 version of Cubic - available from the Cubic PPA repository - to make my own customized XFCE-based Debian Sid distro. It's working perfectly for me.

Personally I use fsarchiver for system backups and rsync for regular data backups, but a bootable .iso is a whole different ballgame.
There are several alternatives to create bootable images, the live-build system is quite involved but useful and configurable. Also Refractasnapshot and simple-cdd are easier methods.
MX Linux has done a lot of great work in their mx-snapshot, create-live-usb and remaster tools. One can create a custom live bootable image with persistence so changes can be saved any time.
