Discussion: Auto-enable systemd user service across all distros #23
Description
Having this would also require packaging a blacklist file that disables autoloading of the wacom and hid_uclogic modules.
Arguments for having an auto-enabling systemd user service:
- Stuff should just work (on a properly configured system)
Arguments against:
- Limited compatibility (we need
DISPLAY/WAYLAND_DISPLAYenv vars to start at all), see Rewrite "X11/Wayland Session not detected" in Linux FAQ OpenTabletDriver.Web#43, maybe discuss whether OpenTabletDriver should just guess if vars are not present?
Originally I was opposed to this on Arch since I was under the impression there is no precedent for doing this. However, while switching between Wireplumber and Pipewire Media Session, I noticed that user services were automatically being enabled. If it's possible to get the env var behavior more consistent we can more safely do this.

DEB/RPM already disables these modules, and (I tried) enabling systemd services automatically with #4, but it didn't work reliably so I am now trying to disable it through #24
It seems Arch PKGBUILDs are using
--global, but I think enabling the service is unnecessary since launch scripts in this repo already starts service if it's not available so...
