Prevent Logoff from Killing tmux Session
I have noticed that a logoff (log out) from my X user session will kill any tmux session I have initiated, even sessions I had run with sudo tmux and similar commands. I am sure that this formerly did not happen, but some recent change has effected this behavior.
How do I maintain these tmux (or screen) sessions, even after I end my X session?
systemd tmux gnu-screen session logout

This "feature" has existed in systemd previously, but the systemd developers decided to effect a change in the default, to enable the setting for termination of child processes upon log out of a session.
You can revert this setting in your logind.conf (/etc/systemd/logind.conf):
KillUserProcesses=no
You can also run tmux with a systemd-run wrapper like the following:
systemd-run --scope --user tmux
For these systems, you may just want to alias the tmux (or screen) command:
alias tmux="systemd-run --scope --user tmux"

@JdeBP Thanks for telling us that sending SIGHUP instead of SIGTERM and SIGKILL allows daemons to survive closing of a systemd logind session. I'd also appreciate if you could also consider unix.stackexchange.com/questions/484344/… and unix.stackexchange.com/a/490435/674
