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 spent my whole Saturday fighting sddm
Did you win?
A win - with only moderate compromise :)
A win is a win.... Kudos my friend
SDDM (and GDM) can be a pain sometimes, so I welcome this.
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
Hopefully there this can be DE agnostic.
Nope, that's the problem with SDDM - it is "meant to be desktop-agnostic".
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:
Yaay! Slideshow wallpaper on my login screen!?
