Yes, I found that. Yet another change in how things work from one version
to the next. Used to be, I could just take that out of my session, and be
done with it. So I guess it's now a system task?

Anyways, I just removed it.

I also killed the

/usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrade-shutdown
--wait-for-signal

process.

I hope that doesn't break anything. Maybe I just won't reboot until I'm
ready to switch to Arch, or something else.
