+===== Autologin to console =====
+find the original command to see how terminals are started:
+  grep ExecStart /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service
+the output is something like
+  ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -o '-p -- \\u' --noclear %I $TERM
+edit getty@1.service for the first tty:
+  systemctl edit getty@tty1
+now write the following lines:
+  [Service]
+  ExecStart=
+  ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --autologin myuser --noclear %I $TERM
+where ''myuser'' should be replaced with the username of the user that should be logged in. removing the ''-o '-p -- \\u' '' removes the password prompt. if you leave this in the user will be automatically selected but you still need to enter the password to continue.
