Yes, this is encouraging and things are moving fast in e_git code. |

It'll take a dev interested in getting EFL to get this to run on openrc or |
| 65 |
with elogind. I'll keep an eye out for developments in this area. The |
| 66 |
direction of travel appears to be towards Wayland, but the ETA is of course |
| 67 |
unknown. |

Interestingly, selecting Plasma to run with Wayland won't launch either. It |
| 70 |
drops me back into the LoginDM screen. |
