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.

- 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
Made me laugh
I demand newly minted slop on every wake from suspend 😤
Already created a issue ticket /s
I demand a KoChauffeur+ button. How are we supposed to login to our computer without a ~~slop~~chatbox!?
Feature request: AI password validator , because who needs central directory anyway
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
Very cool. I’m consistently impressed by the KDE devs.
Anyone here with XFCE and lightdm?????
Damn. I wonder when this trickles down to CachyOS and Bazzite.
Quickly in Bazzite, not at all in Cachy since that's based on Arch.
But you can choose your login manager on Arch, too.
And yet, Fedora changing their default login manager won't affect Arch.
??? are you being serious? obviously fedorah isnt arch.
anyway, Cachy will have it the second KDE adds it to the plasma / kde-applications packages.

What kind of argument is that?
It's already in AUR, you can install it right now if you want.
Right, but since it isn’t based on Fedora, which this post is about, what Fedora is doing has no bearing on what CachyOS uses as its defaults.

looking forward to it, sddm is the only thing I have left that depends on xorg directly
meanwhile I just want to go back to blank/black lockscreen with no visual cues and you just type the password and nothing happens of it's wrong, but I've been quite sick of trying to look up how to do forgotten things I had on older systems only to get AI slop guides that ramble on with a hallucinated life story and either never getting to the point of just not working.
I wish no visuals could just be a setting on all distros
Slim? Also, console/TUI display managers.
And you can usually restrict search results to up to 2023 to avoid AI slop. Also, i use this userscript to remove domains from results.
Edit: my bad, it's about session locker.

Fedora will be the first distro? Adopting it even faster than KDE Neon, a distro made by KDE itself?
KDE neon is really only a development platform, and it is barely maintained.

where are the screenshots
If you update from 43 to 44, will it still remove SDDM? Or does it get stuck as part of your user config?
It will depend on how upstream (Fedora Silverblue) implements it. From my understanding, it will straight up replace it, and remove SDDM.
