KDE Plasma Login Manager Won’t Support Systemd-Free Linux or BSD Systems

[LibreQuest]

Well some of you completely ignore the aspect of graphical Unix workstation. You can run slim X11 environments booted with startx.
I right now do the startx too because I haven't gotten around taking care of sddm yet.



Sudo is useless?
If you follow official procedure of Steam under FreeBSD it is going to live under another account.
If you want to run Steam using a single command from your main acc, you need sudo/doas.

You can also edit the install script, that's what I do. I just install it under my user account. :/

They will probably reject my merge request but I have poked the bear.

Yes, that is exactly what you shouldn't do

I just did this: https://github.com/Sonic-DE/sonic-login-manager

Still need to figure out why the restart, shutdown, etc buttons don't work but Wayland and systemd are no longer hard dependencies on this fork.

There's a video showing it working in the zip.

video shows Xorg session working in VirtualBox... using the Sonic Login Manager.

My own latest update is that the official SDDM works fine with both Xorg and Wayland, even the restart/shutdown/etc, but amdgpu graphics stack is crashing.
