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
Fedora will be the first distro? Adopting it even faster than KDE Neon, a distro made by KDE itself?

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.
Thank god SDDM is a nightmare
What’s bad about SDDM?
It always chooses the default highest resolution, (which may not work on some devices with faulty EDID), does not respect the Wayland/X11 choice, has a long pause when going from login screen to desktop and does not support 24h clocks.
Just to name a few.
The first one I think is a fundamental limitation in that display preferences by default is per-user. Maybe this makes it work for you? https://feddit.online/post/1350756/comment/6636228
The 24h clock might be similar - check your system-wide locale.
