Interesting commentary on the KDE shenanigans, and it makes absolutely no logical sense to make the new KDE login manager require systemd. Unless, this is part of a greater conspiracy to limit Linux and BSD systems normal people will be able to run as they lock down Windows, macOS, iOS and Android for digital ID and agentic AI integration, as well as controlling what software you can run. If you put this together with the madman’s rush to rewrite everything in Rust which excludes a lot of hardware, and the ridiculous move to rollback and smother X.Org (X11), forcing people to Wayland, with the libelous attacks on people thwarting their plans and forking projects, it’s all too much of a coincidence. And spearheading much of this is IBM/Red Hat, and it’s easy to give donations and capture other project boards. And why are so many projects trying to drop X.Org support for Wayland only? Especially when half of Linux users run X.Org? Consequently, KDE is my favorite desktop environment, and I already use LightDM instead of KDE’s login manager as I have several DEs installed, but as we’re on KDE 6.6, with X.Org support to end with version 6.8, it remains to be seen if I’ll keep using it as I run XLibre and will not run Wayland. And Cinnamon or XFCE will work for my needs, and perhaps SonicDE will be a good alternative as well.
This is good coverage of GhostBSD moving from X.Org to XLibre, and I run XLibre on my desktop and laptop Arch systems.
