This probably needs to be an explicit module parameter (or maybe a loginctl module?) allowing linger to be explicitly disabled/enabled for a specific user. And the argument spec needs to account for this option only making sense when scope=user. This probably also means we need a user parameter as well.

Right now we are inferring/guessing the user based on the effective UID or the login user account. I can see that not always being correct, say if someone is trying to configure a user unit for a user account other than the one being used by Ansible to manage the system.

Minor nit: this import should be on line 276 so it's alphabetical.

Disabling linger here will most likely result in the user unit not working as intended. In order for user units to start on boot and/or not be killed when a login session for the user account no longer exists, the user account must have linger permanently enabled.

''' allows for lingering dbus sessions '''

enabled = False

This may not always be the correct user account and may differ from the value in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
