From their repo:

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

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.

    Yep, I'm being serious, Fedora's decisions don't affect Arch.

    He's not talking about fedora, he didn't ask about if fedora's changes would make it into cachy os but about the timeframe on how quickly the plasma login manager being a default for the plasma desktop environment on cachy os. Talk about whiffing right over the head, I think it must've been in orbit.

    Sure, that was cleared up a couple hours ago when OP clarified as such. Since texture apparently wanted to argue (given his many comments posted long after the clarification), I thought I'd play along for him.

    I guess that person didn't know they could set it up themselves. Maybe they meant that it's installed and configured automatically on new installs.

    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.

    Except they responded to a post talking about an Arch-based distro, so Fedora isn't relevant here.

    "Trickles down" sure implies Fedora here, especially when Bazzite is mentioned.
