- In all other cases, you'll need to set this option to `true` yourself.
- `boot.isNspawnContainer` being `true` implies [](#opt-boot.isContainer) being `true`.
- `users.users.*.linger` now defaults to `null` rather than `false`, meaning NixOS will not attempt to enable or disable lingering for that user account. In practice, this is unlikely to make a difference for most people, as new users are created without lingering configured, but it means users who use `loginctl` commands to manage lingering imperatively will not have their changes overridden by default. There is a new, related option, `users.manageLingering`, which can be used to prevent NixOS attempting to manage lingering entirely.

- Due to [deprecation of gnome-session X11 support](https://blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2025/06/08/the-x11-session-removal/), `services.desktopManager.pantheon` now defaults to pantheon-wayland session. The X11 session has been removed, see [this issue](https://github.com/elementary/session-settings/issues/91) for details.

By default, NixOS will not manage lingering, new users will default
to not lingering, and you can change the linger setting using
`loginctl enable-linger` or `loginctl disable-linger`. Setting
to not lingering, and lingering can be configured imperatively using
`loginctl enable-linger` or `loginctl disable-linger`. Setting
this option to `true` or `false` is the declarative equivalent of
running `loginctl enable-linger` or `loginctl disable-linger`
respectively.
