Newbie here again! How do I keep permission only users, like media, or radarr, from showing up on the login screen? It's just kind of unnecessary and cluttery... and it bothers me.

Which distro, which DE? Or any details at all.

You need to make them system users without the ability to login. Any service on your machine with a dedicated user should be a system only user with no login shell defined.

Can I use usermod to apply the -r after the fact, or do I need to remove the user and redo it correctly?

It’s covered in that link, but yes.

Sorry. I made myself “instructional” videos installing things and whatnot on the live USB before installing and BOY!, watching myself go so slowly through everything and still miss obvious stuff is EXCRUCIATING.

But I know who I’m dealing with. I’m solidly average or below.
