Выбор менеджера дисплея

---

Если Вы используете только одну среду рабочего стола, то почему бы не выбрать соответствующий менеджер дисплеев?

Менеджеры дисплеев используются для обеспечения экранов входа в систему и поэтому служат защитными барьерами безопасности для предотвращения несанкционированного доступа к вашей системе.

They are also referred to as Login Managers. As with different desktop environments, different display managers will require different system resources to run, and will provide their own unique styles, interfaces, and features. Commonly shared features - particularly in respect to the selection of display managers listed below - include customisation/theming, automatic login, and the selection of multiple desktop environments.

Entrance is available in the Arch User Repository (AUR) and may be installed using the following command: user $ pamac build entrance-git COPY TO CLIPBOARD To enable Entrance as the default display manager run the command: user $ sudo systemctl enable entrance.service --force COPY TO CLIPBOARD
