@ClubTeleMatique Are we sure this makes sense? They could have just kept using #KDE with the #SDDM. Otherwise this feels like a performative move. I'm not arguing for or against anything here. All the same: trying to avoid #systemd looks these days like trying to avoid #Wayland, which both seems like something mister #donQuixote would have a lot to say about, if you catch my drift...

Sprucing up my good old #T470
Ordered a new 72Wh battery which will arrive tomorrow, going to use this computer as a #Writing #Tool
Just installed a fresh install of #Fedora43 with #KDE but will whittle it a bit down so I will have a #NoFrills interface, almost thinking about just disabling #SDDM and using #CLI only..
Wayland
@alfonsosiciliano FYI <https://github.com/outpaddling/desktop-installer/issues/35> in particular, yesterday's comment about virtual machines <https://github.com/outpaddling/desktop-installer/issues/35#issuecomment-3864665413>.

I have pushed a hot fix to the installation scripts for all three of my SDDM themes:
Elegant Arch SDDM Theme
Elegant Manjaro SDDM Theme
#LTMNight SDDM Theme
The script now automatically backs up existing configuration files to .bak instead of removing them. This ensures your system settings are preserved during installation.
Thank you for the feedback.
The LTMNight SDDM Theme’s GLSL shader background in action. No fluff, just clean performance.
I’d love to hear your suggestions and feedback.
Happy news! My new #SDDM themes are now live on the #AUR and #KDE Store.
Elegant #Arch SDDM Theme
Elegant #Manjaro SDDM Theme
LTMNight SDDM Theme (Features a #GLSL shader background)
All three include a customization script to easily change backgrounds, blur strength, and more.
We've created the "Sonic Silver" #SDDM theme based on the AndromiX-SDDM-Theme project by Ziednaga with some fixes. It comes in both light and dark. You can get it at https://github.com/Sonic-DE/silver-sddm. #SonicDE
.... I cannot believe that there is so much BS going on over the #KDE login manager where people are upset over the removal of BSD support... because it ties to systemd... isn't linux like it always been about giving options, KDE has more options than others like LightDM and SSDM it is just annoying people creating drama where there isn't any needed...
Originally released in 2016, I have completely modernized Elegant Arch Linux SDDM theme to meet today's standards while keeping the classic elegance you love.
Rebuilt from the ground up with Qt 6, it is now faster and smoother. Whether you are on a standard laptop or a 4K monitor, it scales perfectly.

I'd love to hear what you think or if you have any suggestions.
Finally finished my new SDDM theme!
Meet LTMNight v0.1.0. I built this because I wanted a login screen that feels "alive" with proper video background support.
✨ Live Video Backgrounds
✨ Dynamic Hostname Header
✨ Interactive Setup Script
✨ Touchscreen Friendly (Virtual Keyboard)
Check it out and let me know if you like it!

@Tionisla It's hard to read the future.
I really like sddm, it is Wayland compatible, works nicely, looks nice and is customizable.
I get why a desktop environment may want to have its own session manager.
I guess Xfce is the way forward? It may be time for the FreeBSD community to engage the developers of other DE's to understand intentions re: systemd.
As far as I know the only DE's that have Wayland momentum are Budgie, MATE, LXQt, Cinnamon. Are Budgie or Cinnamon available in FreeBSD? Pantheon (elementary) is Wayland but I suspect it is closely tied to systemd .
GhostBSD's Gershwin is intriguing but sounds like it's early days for Wayland support.
DE's are an easy button that I appreciate but I guess going back to old skool methods like rolling yer own desktop using something like Wayfire, labwc, hikari, etc, with ly, lightdm, sddm is future proof(ish).
With KDE abandoning sddm will it be maintained? That's another question.
One thing i find completely unintuitive in KDE is that, to automatically log in as some user, you have to go to "Color & Themes > Login Screen" on the System Settings, and click on the "Behavior..." button in the taskbar.
What has that anything to do with theming?
It took me like an hour to find that option the first time.
Bleh, I dunno what has changed but my laptop now hangs when booting. I get a back screen with cursor instead of sddm/login screen. I can still log in using a different terminal session but that's shell only and not ideal. This was an issue a couple years ago and now it seems to be back. It is intermittent but happens more often than not.
Why does setting (either or both) of:
`mem_encrypt=on` and `amd_iommu=pgtbl_v2` (note: v1 works just fine)
cause the #SDDM greeter to fail to start? (In wayland mode, did not test x11 mode)
Wasn't at least the first one `mem_encrypt=on` supposed to be transparent for applications?
Ich habe auf meinem #Linux Desktop Rechner mal ein wenig mit den Displaymanagern rumgespielt.
Hintergrund: Ich habe ursprünglich den #Fedora #Cinnamon Spin installiert. Inzwischen nutze ich aber nur noch KDE. Da #Cinnamon den #LightDM als Desktopmanager hat und KDE als Standard eigentlich den #sddm dachte ich mir ich wechsle um es konsistent zu haben.
sddm fand ich gruselig. Habe dann #gdm probiert. Noch schlimmer.
Ich bin jetzt zurück auf LightDM und bleibe dabei. sddm und gdm werden gelöscht
