I am running ubuntu 18.04 on a raspberry pi 3. I'd like to have it when I turn the unit on, it would automatically login to a given user. I have tried the following method layed out in the following question: How can I get autologin at startup working on Ubuntu Server 16.04.1?

Perhaps I don't understand it. Would someone be willing to explain to me how this is accomplished?

Referencing this question How to create ubuntu server 16.04 autologin?

In a vm this was my procedure

sudo systemctl edit getty@tty1

And add:

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -a <USERNAME> --noclear %I $TERM

Replace <USERNAME> of course with your username.

save and exit. Reboot

This was just tested on a VM running Ubuntu Server 18.04(not raspberry pi however)

It was a successful autologin

I do not claim this to be secure in anyway! For testing purpose only.
