Is there a security risk with enabling autologin when you have disk encryption with LUKS enabled? If anyone gets hold of the PC, they have to enter the password needed for decrypting the disk.

      I can't speak for all methods but in the case of GNOME's greeter, autologin doesn't apply to remote sessions.

      You mean SSH? I have it blocked by a firewall. Or do you mean anything else I am unaware of?
