    I switched to linux a little over a year ago and went with MX Linux because they have great GUI tools for windows refugees like myself, and because they don’t like systemd over there they use cron jobs. Now, having switched to Nobara I’ve just installed both SystemD Pilot here, but also found KCron, a KDE Cron configuration module which allows for the same functionality as what I’m used to.
    If I just want to setup a “when system starts” daemon, is there really any difference in using one over the other? I guess it’s possible to shut down services more gracefully?

    In any case, great job on this utility.
