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.

I want a display manager that shows the desktop as the background, instead of a background image or video. I'm thinking of auto-logging in on boot, and adding another startup command to Hyprland to lock the desktop and show the display manger. My searches didn't yield anything. The closest I could find is hyprlock which blurs the desktop, but that's just a lock screen & not a proper display manager.
Display managers handles sessions. A "desktop" is a session and if none are started yet, how can it display it?
Lockscreen and display managers are two different things. They are not the same and does not have the same functionality.

I'm wondering if this is possible though for a transparent display manager background.
When you log out, have a script take screenshot, blur it and save to a known file.
Conf your display manager to use that file as background.
I dynamically take a screenshot and blur it
