Notes from the video:

Targets are used to control which services are started as part of the boot process, this is controlled by the systemctl proccess.

To view the current default target (what target is being used for the current boot proccess:

# systemctl get-default

To list all of the currently loaded targets units (as called by the master target):

# systemctl list-units --type target

The command will only show the currently active units, to show all units:

# systemctl list-units --type target --all

To change the default target:

# systemctl set-default multi-user.target
