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

No custom login theme now, or no theming ever? I will likely want to change a few things

“The move replaces SDDM but means giving up on custom login themes.”

— It's FOSS

AI hallucination probably

Could just mean that it will apply plasma's theme

I have no source for this but I remember reading something about the new login manager a while ago that said it would follow the plasma theme. So hopefully that.
