Systemd user session and scope

When I start my systemd system and login to it, I see 2 user sessions: c1 for user gdm and c2 for my user. I see 2 slices ([email protected] and [email protected]) and 2 scopes (session-c1.scope and session-c2.scope). Several programs or deamons reside in [email protected], others in session-c*.scope.

I don't understand and cannot find in documentation why there are 2 (and not 1) sessions in system? And why do several programs reside in [email protected] and others in session-c*.scope?

There are 2 sessions because there are 2 users: you and gdm.

session scopes are what is running per 'session' (per login), but user slices are what is running per user (regardless of the number of logins).
