Newbie to Debian 12.7

Hi     I have an older 14" HP Probook 440 with Intel core I3-4000M, 1TB HDD, 12GB RAM. After several weeks of debating and switching back and forth between Debian and Fedora, I settled upon Debian 12.7 with the Cinnamon desktop, for several reasons. However, there is one question I have regar

I'm trying to recreate under systemd something I had previously cobbled together with shell scripts and init levels under sysvinit. Only a few services ran under init 2, the default set in /etc/inittab, including privoxy and ssh; the rest of the services I wanted running, such as fetchmail, exim4,
