+# 1. Switches for vncserver should be entered in ~/.vnc/config rather than
+#    hard-coded into this unit file. See the vncserver(1) manpage.
+#
+# 2. Users wishing for the server to continue running after the owner logs
+#    out MUST enable 'linger' with loginctl like this:
+#    `loginctl enable-linger username`
+#    
+# 3. The server can be enabled and started like this once configured:
+#    `systemctl --user start vncserver@:<display>.service`
+#    `systemctl --user enable vncserver@:<display>.service`
