# Startup

Startup can be summarised as being:

plasma-core.target
plasma-workspace@.target
graphical-session.target

plasma-workspace@ is the target explicitly activated.

## X11 and wayland

plasma-workspace@ is a template file that ends with x11 or wayland. That will then require the correct kwin_
startup order can be different between the two.

## Wants & Order
Note that in systemd dependencies (wants/wantedby) counter-intuitively do not determine order.

plasma-workspace wants graphical-session, meaning it will make it something started by it, but it also explicitly comes before graphical-session.

The order of events is:
plasma-core does anything that adjusts environment variables
plasma-workspace@ starts all runtime services
graphical-session is at a point where everything including runtime services are up

## Adding a new service

If it should only be used on plasma it should be wanted by plasma-core or plasma-workspace@.

That service is responsible for setting "After=plasma-core.target" if we need envs set up.
