To clarify things: 1. In original post I described system task which CAN (and sooner or later will) be migrated to systemd timers. But then You said that: 2. anacron can be dropped - which in general is not true, because systemd cannot provided proper functionality for user units. > It's correct, that "systemd --user" is started if you log in, or if you > explicitly enable linger for this user (then it is started during boot). > > >> which in turn, can break ALL your "user" units) > > I'd be interested to know, what exactly you have in mind here.

For example: I have (--user) kj-keepassx.service - my own service with keepasx xscreensaver-monitor.service - my own service which to monitor screensaver These services should NOT be run withoud graphical login. But I would run my user timers. How to achieve this? with cron/anacron I simply put line in my (ana)crontab.
