It also appears that every time the system boots, the zeroconf route (169.254.0.0) is enabled.
How can I disable this insanity? Why is it creating new connections with 169.254.0.0 networks?

I installed on my laptop (Dell core i3 4gb ram from 2014) Debian 10 without GUI and then installed Openbox. To suspend the system, I enter the pm-suspend command, but what I want is to suspend the system and log out without closing the programs that I am using.


Is there any way to do that?

Any suggestions appreciated.
