Boot-Up Manager is a bit dated, but as far as I can tell it's fully functional. I hope MX devs package Boot-Up Manager for a Debian Buster based release. Since it's based on sysvinit and not systemd it's unlikely that BUM would suddenly stop working due to low-level breaking changes.
Unfortunately, bum is not in the Debian buster or sid repos, so MX would have to provide its own package.
Code: Select all

I forgot all about BUM. I remember *buntu used to have it but they dropped it for some reason. It might not be supported any longer. It's in the MXPI under stable.
Another service I don't need or want that I left out of my list was rpcbind.

Thank you for this list in #1.
I was able to deactivate:
Code: Select all
bluetooth (computer doesn't have bluetooth)
saned (no scanner)
cups (no printer)
cups-browsed (no network printer)
avahi-daemon (no network printer or file server)
samba (no network file server)
nmbd (no network file server)
smbd (no network file server)
nfs-kernel-server (no network file server)
But I failed with:
Code: Select all
nfs-common (no network file server)
pppd-dns (no dial-up modem)
ModemManager (no dial-up modem)
When sould I use (or not use) or for what is this good for:
Code: Select all
sudo sysv-rc-conf
sudo rcconf
sudo update-rc.d [service] disable
sudo systemctl disable --now [service]
