Some found themselves in a situation where GDM no longer allowed #X11 sessions, but I'll explain what's going on.
At the moment, support for X11 sessions has been disabled (for testing reasons), but there is a flag available to put in the GDM config which is EnableXorg=True.
But why? There is the process of removing the #GNOME #Xorg session.
But don't worry, you can still enable X11 sessions, and it might be reverted to "True" by default later or with the new version.
@peppe thaks man... it feels good, as I'm on the suck train for a while now 😅
Since I've switched themes, LightDM stopped working, and I can't log in until I first log in on an other TTY in text mode... Apparently opening the #LightDM greeter settings app screwed everything up? Now I'm looking for an alternative, but nothing else seem to support a "switch user" type feature?
#justLinuxThings I guess...
smh
Anyone that daily drives a #WindowManager, Do you also use a #Displaymanager / #LoginManager?
A new #Video https://youtu.be/f57rGhBm3Vk for your #cats on #Debian 12.6 #Server and with #GnomeDesktop 43.9 has been #performance #benchmarked and is ranked 23rd in the #DesktopEnvironment #OperatingSystem #TierList. The bundled #GnomeDesktopEnvironment, #Mutter #WindowManager, and #GDM #DisplayManager all appear to be 1-2 year old versions of the #software. The server performance with 280M Memory Usage, 0 CPU Load, and 1.8G Disk Usage, and 11 second reboot time are not the best.
The #Desktop #OperatingSystem #Benchmark Tier List has been updated on https://everybytecounts.org/ for December 2024 dates. Notably #TinyDM #DisplayManager used by #PostMarketOS, doesn't appear to have any updates in the repository for a year. #EnlightenmentWM #WindowManager has activity in the repository, but no new release for a year. #KWin #WM has newer releases, hopefully #AlpineLinux 3.21 (in days/weeks) will have a newer version.
New #Video on #Cinnamon 6.0.4 #DesktopEnvironment on #NixOS 24.05 performance benchmark https://youtu.be/ef18PbWWHe4. Ranked 36 on https://EveryByteCounts.org. While the performance is better than #LinuxMint, it is worse than #HannahMontanaLinux. Unfortunately both Mint and NixOS use the #LightDM #DisplayManager which Canonical abandoned 2 years ago. 617MB Memory Usage, 0.68 CPU Load, 7.1GB Disk Usage and 20 second Reboot time are all poor performance metrics compared to other options.
A new video https://youtu.be/2lzoz03s8FQ on #Budgie 10.9.1 #DesktopEnvironment on #NixOS 24.05 #Linux Performance Benchmark Comparison is Ranked 32nd on the https://EveryByteCounts.org #TierList. NixOS 24.05 uses the #LightDM #DisplayManager which appears to have been abandoned by the #developer Canonical 2.3 years ago.
New Video on #Pantheon 7.1 #DesktopEnvironment with NixOS 24.05 #Linux Performance Benchmark https://youtu.be/tjt4T7kz8KY. Ranked 30th on the https://EveryByteCounts.org. Better performance than #Budgie on NixOS, but worse performance than #HannahMontanaLinux. 499M of Memory Usage and 0.40 CPU Load is not the worse. 6.3G of Disk Usage is poor. NixOS defaults LightDM #DisplayManager, which Canonical abandoned 2.3 years ago. Support this project with https://liberapay.com/craft/donate
A new #video on the #DesktopEnvironment #Mate 1.28.2 with NixOS 24.05 #linux https://youtu.be/AeeSiEslKSg. Ranked 25th in the Desktop #OperatingSystem Performance benchmark comparison #TierList on https://EveryByteCounts.org. Unfortunately since this is on NixOS 24.05 the Disk Usage is 5.9GB. 337M Memory Usage and 0.07 CPU Load is reasonable. Unfortunately the #DisplayManager on NixOS 24.05 is 2 years old and no longer maintained by Canonical. Support this data with https://liberapay.com/craft/donate
#Emptty #DisplayManager / #LoginManager #performance has been #benchmarked https://youtu.be/vnhqUJxvuf0. It appears to be a better performer than #SDDM with it's #terminal based user interface. Curious if anyone daily drives Emptty. :)

Ohne Not wird hier Geld für eine Windowslizenz rausgeschmissen.
Und dann funktioniert der Krempel nicht einmal.
Warum fällt mir jetzt #X11 ohne #Displaymanager ein?
@tilton Every time I catch someone mention X11 and Wayland WITHOUT mentioning Arcan as a 3rd option I do:
Arcan is the 3rd option! https://arcan-fe.com/about #Arcan #displayManager Better than the other two in many ways.
Any #DisplayManager recommendations? Trying to move away from #SDDM. #Emptty is neat.
#Solus 4.5 with #BudgieDesktop has been #benchmarked on https://everybytecounts.org. Currently the worst performing #Linux distribution with Budgie #DesktopEnvironment. It's also using a #DisplayManager that canonical stopped supporting 2 years ago.
Opened an issue with #phosh #desktopenvironment about autologin https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/issues/1079. The developer of phosh says it's a #tinydm #displaymanager problem. Opened an issue with tinydm https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/tinydm/-/issues/10. They say it's a phosh problem. #linux #opensource
#SparkyLinux has been benchmarked and audited on https://everybytecounts.org. Some how they managed to use a 6 year old #DisplayManager and 2 year old #LXQt #DesktopEnvironment. Resource usage for LXQt seems very high at 690MB of memory usage (Alpine only uses 243MB with LXQt).
#ZorinOS #Linux with #Gnome has been tested on https://everybytecounts.org. It appears that #GDM the #DisplayManager, which is always running, is more than 2 years old. The memory, disk, and load are running high. So if you want to run Gnome, running it on Alpine Linux is a better performer.
#antiX #Linux has been #Benchmarked on https://everybytecounts.org. Great to see #IceWM as the #WindowManager instead of the common #Mutter based wm. It uses it's own #slimski #DisplayManager which doesn't appear to have any releases, tags, or branches according to their gitlab #odd. The memory usage of 444mb seems middle of the road for a #DesktopEnvironment, but high for a WM. System load is great at 0. The disk usage seems high at 7GB for the #OperatingSystem. Does anyone daily drive antiX?
The overwhelming response to benchmarking poll seems to be for #LinuxMint. Mint is the #developer of the #CinnamonDesktop environment. It's unfortunate that the performance with cinnamon on this distribution is worse than with cinnamon on nixos. The #DisplayManager on this distribution, #LightDM, hasn't been updated for 5 years. It also uses the most disk usage of any #Linux #Distribution tested so far at 11GB. More details on the benchmark and audit at https://everybytecounts.org. Video coming soon
#dwm and #emptty now benchmarked on https://everybytecounts.org There are so many options for a #WindowManagers with #DisplayManager on #AlpineLinux with better performance than on bare #NixOS #Linux without a #WindowManager, at a fraction of the disk usage. Also, the next release of Alpine, in November, will have more #DesktopEnvironment / window manager options. Some of which are currently on the edge branch, or had become out of date and will have new versions.
