# Jetson Headless Mode

Plan-then-apply for safe, reversible user-space memory reclamation: switch the default systemd target away from `graphical.target` and disable a curated set of non-essential daemons. This is the highest-yield, lowest-risk memory win on Jetson.

## Purpose

Build a user-approved headless-mode plan from live audit data, then apply only safe, reversible user-space changes that reduce desktop and daemon memory use on Jetson.

## When to use

- "Free as much memory as possible — I don't need the GUI."
- "I'm shipping this Jetson as an inference appliance / edge node."
- After `jetson-memory-audit` shows `default_systemd_target=graphical.target` or shows `gdm3` / `lightdm` / `sddm` active on a system the user describes as headless.
