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

RDP over VPN. My former workplace had a solution that hacked itself before the Windows' login manager for remote logins. Would make Linux more viable for business imo.

And yes, it's partly a critique; they put all those usecases and protocols in one tool (i'm a sucker for minimism and modularity) but missed this aspect?

I'm still not sure I understand why you can't start the RDP and VPN daemons via systemd or other init?

So you say there's no need for RDP in a display manager (login screen)?

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't see it, you can just make a system service that starts it on system startup. You can specify a dependency on the display manager being up if you'd like. But I don't see why the DM itself needs to start it

Which is my point. 👍
