Hi Peter,
Yeah for desktop use case there isn’t anything to turn on for logrotate usually, as it is covered by journald as you mentioned.
I’m thinking for people who enable services which are not covered by journald.
The 2 use cases I have in mind are apache and rsyslog. I think there is value in automatically rotating those logs for users, like Debian does, or at least making mention in the documentation that the user needs to set up log rotation as most users would expect this to already be in place.
