Running LXC/Proxmox containers unprivileged
Running an unprivileged lxc container with recent systemd Recent builds of systemd (around version 252) implemented a bunch of features that break proxmox/lxc containers.

[Desktop Entry] Exec=/usr/bin/systemctl --user restart pipewire Name=Restart pipewire Type=Application X-KDE-StartupNotify=false OnlyShowIn=KDE; Icon=plasma NoDisplay=true I presume something like that is supposed to be there already, but currently on Debian Testing it isn’t.
