amethystOS: you can’t tell its arch without the terminal!

today, i tried to get a lightweight login manager working.

  • first, i thought of sddm, but when i saw it, i felt it was too ugly.
  • then i thought of wlgreeter, but it wasn’t in the repos.
  • eventually, i settled on lxdm. it looks good and seems to work well.
    now you see, the problem is i need to auto-login into labwc, the compositor. remember that you don’t need a full desktop environment to ship a distro. the compositor can work well standalone. you just have to install a few things to be able to actually use it, and that’s what i plan on doing.
    also, i need make some artwork for this. i’ve already come up with a few designs for logos and wallpapers, i just have to actually make them in inkscape! i feel like my 4 wallpapers and final logo are pretty good!
    hoping to get stuff actually working tomorrow ✌️ i need to:
  • configure autologin for live cd
  • configure lxdm
  • auto-start the calamares installer when the user boots the disk
  • make a custom boot animation
  • of course, make the boot animation
