Didn't try Debian, but on Ubuntu it's the default target:

zcobol@toto:~$ systemctl get-default
graphical.target
zcobol@toto:~$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 24.04 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="24.04"
VERSION="24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat)"
VERSION_CODENAME=noble
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian

To change from multi-user.target run sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

[psztoch]

I am talking about --user target. Not global/system target. System targets work good.

Ubuntu and Debian are using the default.target for user and global and graphical.target for all users:

elsaco@RIPPER:~$ systemctl --system get-default
graphical.target
elsaco@RIPPER:~$ systemctl --global get-default
default.target
elsaco@RIPPER:~$ systemctl --user get-default
default.target

If you want to start services for a user change the default.target. On WSL Ubuntu 22.04 dbus-user-session needs to be installed otherwise you're greeted by Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory when running systemctl --user

man 7 systemd.special explains it all 😀

And graphical-session.target is started by in example gnome-session. If I'm not using GNOME, shouldn't I expect WSL to automatically start wslg-session, which binded to graphical-session will then run the necessary services to come to life...

I do not want to install gnome-session package with 347 packages as dependency:
