"Does Linux" is a pretty broad question. Most distros nowadays will require you to manually enable systemd services you install though.

- tfigment 5y agoI think this is more like adding lines to /etc/profile.d or .bashrc than adding a service. Linux has a pretty complicated flow if you want to know what runs on login or on startup.
- usr1106 5y agoIf the application choses to do so. Installation used to require root and I don't see a way who root could prevented from be enabling a systemd service. Short of having a signed read-only rootfs which no common distro has. Nowadays you don't even need root to install something that runs a every login: There is the user instance of systemd. Of course without root those services are limited in what they can do.
