If you update from 43 to 44, will it still remove SDDM? Or does it get stuck as part of your user config?

has a long pause when going from login screen to desktop

Yea I have noticed this. It takes a long time to switch back as well when you lock the computer, logout, switch users, etc

I’ve definitely noticed #2 and #3, very annoying! They should both show the same text input (not a straight display clone since they might be different resolutions/ratios)

On a side note, I’ve noticed some Linux installers don’t handle multiple screens well or high resolutions. I think Calamares is a big offender here, it doesn’t clone to every display so I end up stuck trying to use my sideways monitor. Or on a 4k screen everything is tiny for no reason, it should just default zoom on high resolution.

I much prefer the installers that are just a regular window on a normal desktop, where you can move it, maximize it, easily access the DPI settings and other system settings, browse the internet while it’s installing…

there’s a button to apply Plasma settings to SDDM for this purpose, it prompts for admin password when you do it, which makes sense

What’s bad about SDDM?
