From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

From their repo:

Plasma Login

Plasma Login provides a display manager for KDE Plasma, forked from SDDM and with an new frontend providing a greeter, wallpaper plugin integration and System Settings module (KCM).

What we want

Great out-of-box experience in multi-monitor and high DPI and HDR

Keyboard layout switching

Virtual keyboards

Easy Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese (CJK) input

Screen readers for blind people (which then means volume control)

Remote (VNC/RDP) support from startup

Deeper Plasma integration including:

Display and keyboard brightness control

Full power management

Pairing trusted bluetooth devices

Login to known Wi-Fi for remote LDAP

??? are you being serious? obviously fedorah isnt arch.

Yep, I'm being serious, Fedora's decisions don't affect Arch.

He's not talking about fedora, he didn't ask about if fedora's changes would make it into cachy os but about the timeframe on how quickly the plasma login manager being a default for the plasma desktop environment on cachy os. Talk about whiffing right over the head, I think it must've been in orbit.

Sure, that was cleared up a couple hours ago when OP clarified as such. Since texture apparently wanted to argue (given his many comments posted long after the clarification), I thought I'd play along for him.

incredibly unhelpful

Why don't you send me even more replies over the next few days, I'm sure that will be really helpful!
