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

「 PLM is strictly systemd-native, relying on systemd-logind and systemd user services for session lifecycle management, permissions, and seat handling. These are hard dependencies, not optional features, and they form the foundation of the new login manager 」

@jbz as expected. I switched to #OpenBSD #cwm years ago. Life is easy.

@jan KDE will still work with other login managers like ssdm, but this trend of binding everything to #systemd isn't slowing down.

@jbz i don't think that they will support all the "features" with non systemd login managers. My time machine tells me that the systemd way is the code that will get most of the attention. Users will drop the other variants because it's a more complex experience. At some point you won't be able to run Firefox because you used the wrong login manager

@jbz @jan X will live on although Xorg is being actively vandelised so Xlibre or a BSD X maybe the way forwards.

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

KDE's new Plasma Login Manager is tightly bound to systemd, making it unusable on systemd-free Linux distributions and BSD systems.
