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 intolabwc, 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
