Every time when i poweron the pc, some proccess are started with the system. Some of them are Anydesk and SQL. I had disable sql from start alongside the system with systemctl disable mysql, so i think that i need to do the same with anydesk. But why these programs make this? Even if i dont start the app/program, they will be there, eating resources from the start... WHY THIS HAPPEN?!?!

Edit: Something i forgot to put: why they have root permissions? this happen no wonder the system i install these programms, they have the same behaviour

Most probably those services are started because some other service depends on them.

After running systemctl disable someservice the service someservice is not "disabled" in the sense that it can't be started, it merely isn't started automatically at startup. If you want to make a service not startable, use systemctl mask (or, you know, uninstall/delete it?).

systemctl list-dependencies --reverse mysql.service should list the services that depend on mysql.service.
