SSH (Secure SHell) is a protocol that allows remote shell access from other computers over network. It’s quite secure, but not everybody may want sshd (SSH daemon) running in the background automatically.
systemd, by far the most common init system (first program that the kernel runs, which starts and stops your other programs), however, does run it in the background automatically now.
The way to disable this is neither through a simple command, nor configured in a simple config file somewhere in /etc/systemd/... , but instead in your boot options. Understandably, this feels dumb.
It’s not really something to worry about for average users.
