PS. SDDM is an example were the whole thing leads. It is NOT a KDE application. It is full of bugs and (that's the most funny part) people THINK it is a KDE application and blame KDE for it.
You forget that the only reason why we had to meet this terrible sddm thing is that it is the recommended "successor of the KDE Display Manager". Probably nobody on earth would have ever used this thing if KDE wouldn't recommend it.
cu, Rudi Well, to be honest, you do not HAVE to meet this terrible thing. If you do run nvidia cards it runs for me quite well. If you do have an Intel based notebook you can actually without issues use lightdm.
I have not had any problems with graphics cards, just dozens of other small issues https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=994205
But when I was still using kdm it was opening listening x-server connections on 6001, 6002 etc no matter what. Not really "fine stile". So, I repeat: nobody forces you to follow the recommendations of KDE. If you do however and the project screws up, then the culprit is that project not being up to expectations and not KDE. Fair enough?
This thread is about openSUSE defaults. I don't care about KDE being default if at least the displaymanager is usable to login and to select another WM. I've never had any problems with kdm but our default sddm setup is painful and unusable for many use cases.
sddm is only the default if you choose to install kde in the installer, if you choose Gnome you will get gdm and if you install any other desktop (excluding icewm) you will get lightdm as the default. We don't have a distro default display manager. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
