Absolutely Simple Infrastructure Monitoring
I used the following stress-ng command for this example:
-
Temperature of server in enclosed entertainment unit - too hot?
I would look into using stress/stress-ng to fully load your system and monitor the temperatures over an hour. If it's less than 80C after that hour, should be all good.

One can also just use stress-ng [0], which is packaged in pretty much any distro.

Systemd: The Good Parts
> You mean Slackware users on some random forum.
Believe it or not, that's actually the official slackware forum. And whatever solution those guys come up with, it will likely become the official solution.
> Besides, the solution they came up with uses XDG autostart which has nothing to do with systemd.
The slackware solution involves a project that nobody has heard of before, just so it can imitate the "user-level service" feature provided by systemd: https://github.com/raforg/daemon
> Not to mention that it's not even doing the exact same thing as the Gentoo solution and running two more commands in addition to pipewire.
The slackware solution requires starting those 3 processes (pipewire, pipewire-media-session, pipewire-pulse) separately from 3 different .desktop files, likely because the daemon tool above can't properly reap the pipewire-pulse process (not sure whose fault is this though).
On the other hand, the gentoo solution can start all 3 processes with just 1 .desktop files, because `pkill` takes care of it. Simple and effective.
I think the key difference, in this case, is that the slackware guys are trying their best to imitate a systemd feature, while the gentoo guys seem to focus more on finding the best way to allow users to enjoy pipewire.
