Seriously? Why do you need two separate programs for this?

>>linux users can't lock the system without it looking like some amateur hour shit
most greeters are very professionally made
>>>logging out or starting up the system greets you with a totally different program
how so? for me its both sddm
>>it also takes forever to lock or logon/logoff
its always been instant for me. what kernel are you using that has some special 'make login slow' features?
>>
>>107891298
1. That looks totally awesome.
2. Login is takes all of two seconds on my end.

>>107891298
I agree. We should kill xscreensaver, or rewrite it in rust. Then we can make screensavers and lock screens part of systemd, but only for wayland.

screen locking is totally broken on linux, for decades.

if you leave a laptop for days, then someone else comes, switches to virt terminal 7 where your X is (set to lick in 5 minutes), then it will first show your entire desktop, and only few seconds (or fraction of) later will cover it with black.

a non shit xlocking + xlogin should exist. perhaps they will be done for the XLibre.

Weak bait

>>107891496
Why would I ever leave a laptop for days? I'm either taking it with me, or I'm turning it off.
>>
>>107891298
what I hate about windows is I can't just type in my password, I have to click or press enter first. On plasma I can just type.

>>107891489
Ok, but with Odin and only works on Hyprland. No other wayland compositors allowed.

are you really too retarded to figure it out? did you ever left your basement? what a weirdo.

- accident -> go to hospital
- arrested
- urgent meeting
- you leave work's computer at work
- you leave own computer at home while partying
- you leave computer at home while going to other home / vacation / friend / gf

>>107891298
so true. I switched to linux, but the screen lock so ugly that I went back to windows.

Isn't that the case on Windows a well? Like how the fuck could login manager not be the different program when it runs at system level when no user is logged in yet?
>>

>X
Who cares though? Shit just oboslete.
>>
>>107891548
No, I've never been arrested, or had an "urgent meeting" that lasted several days. You'd have to be hard retarded to "accidently" leave your laptop at work, let alone powered on.

The accident scenario is the only valid one, and even then... if its at work my boss will get it for me, and if its at home my partner will. I don't think Johnny Hackerman is gonna break in to either location.
