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.

From their repo:

Plasma Login

Plasma Login provides a display manager for KDE Plasma, forked from SDDM and with an new frontend providing a greeter, wallpaper plugin integration and System Settings module (KCM).

What we want

Great out-of-box experience in multi-monitor and high DPI and HDR

Keyboard layout switching

Virtual keyboards

Easy Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese (CJK) input

Screen readers for blind people (which then means volume control)

Remote (VNC/RDP) support from startup

Deeper Plasma integration including:

Display and keyboard brightness control

Full power management

Pairing trusted bluetooth devices

Login to known Wi-Fi for remote LDAP

No AI? Are they allowed to do that? Are you sure?

Types in username and password

"Perfect! You are now logged into your computer. Enjoy your desktop!"

Nothing happens. Try to log in again

"You're absolutely right, I failed to log you in while claiming you had actually logged in. Good catch! I'll log you into your system now. Have fun!"

Nothing happens

Feature request: AI password validator , because who needs central directory anyway

[–] AldinTheMage@programming.dev 10 points 4 days ago

Letting AI decide if I entered the correct password is so much better than actually storing the passwords in an encrypted keychain (which can be hacked!!!). AI is revolutionizing security. This is the way of the future. /s
