KDE Proposes New Plasma Login Manager to Replace SDDM
KDE Proposes New Plasma Login Manager to Replace SDDM
KDE developers propose a new Plasma Login Manager to replace SDDM, aiming for deeper integration and a more feature-rich, modern login experience.
Plasma is amazing and the thing that mostly bugs out on all my systems is SDDM by far, so this is totally the right choice.
100%
I don't know much about login managers, but I do know that SDDM has been a pain in my ass on more than one occasion and on more than one distro.
On old Plasma versions (Debian) the Lock Screen manager would crash pretty much every week until I upgraded to the latest release.that role is usually not held by SDDM, though. I think that's handled by plasma or kwin, but not exactly sure about that part
This is great to hear. Something I love about GNOME was the login / lock experience.
SDDM felt like shit when used with Unity, and with Pantheon, and with Plasma.
Looking forward to its release.
I only login from TTY but a new login manager is always welcome
There are only two reasons to use something other than xscreensaver:
- You need other input methods
- You don't care about security
Yaay! Slideshow wallpaper on my login screen!?
