+ <h1>The seatd service</h1>
+ <p>
+ Seatd is a seat manager.
+ This means that it mediates access to
+ hardware like a GPU or input devices to the compositor.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This service makes the socket have
+ <code>seat</code> group permissions.
+ Thus the group <code>seat</code> must exist
+ and users intending to run a compositor need to
+ be part of that group.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The service does not change the socket location,
+ by default it usually resides at
+ <code>/run/seatd.sock</code>.
