Set Default System Boot Target to Graphical

This document provides instructions for setting the default boot target in systemd to graphical.target, which will start the X Window system at boot. It recommends running "systemctl set-default graphical.target" to configure this, and "systemctl get-default" to check that it was set correctly. Additional context is provided on other systemd targets and that the deprecated /etc/inittab file is no longer used to specify the default runlevel.

Answer:
It is simple task configuring systemd properly:

systemctl set-default [Link]

We can also check if it succeeded with:

systemctl get-default

Additional comment:
Here is the list of all targets in systemd:

0 [Link]
1 [Link]
2 [Link]
3 [Link]
4 [Link]
5 [Link]
6 [Link]

Some time ago a file /etc/inittab was used to specify default system level however now it is
deprecated and does not work.
