I just want a working systemd/wayland desktop system. So basically, a |
| 20 |
full-weight normal desktop. |

Not after a minimalist system, and if it pulls in X that's fine. |
| 73 |
(Actually, I've installed X, and at the moment it blows up on me, but if |
| 74 |
I can get Wayland working, I don't see the point in debugging it until I |
| 75 |
need to ...) |

I'll need something like sddm, because I'll have multiple users logged |
| 99 |
in simultaneously. I was trying to use qtgreet as per the "Wayland |
| 100 |
Landscape" page, but the package doesn't seem to exist ... I'd rather |
| 101 |
avoid gnome/gdm and gtkgreet, lightdm and sddm look like X11 (and I said |
| 102 |
I didn't want to debug it :-), and tuigreet looks like it might not |
| 103 |
support multi-user/multi-head. |
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
Still, if I can get plasma running, I can work from there ... |
| 106 |
