    Too late. I was sick with SDDM causing hang on shuttown, I used greetd with just a plain tty greeter and I absolutely love how instantaneously it boots, logs me in and shuts down. Why would I need to use a broken greeter that loads X11 (and Wayland is still a tech-preview thing) while I use a Wayland session anyway?

      Can you share a link on how to configure greeter like you did? Is it also possible to autologin for this? I am using lightdm in the meantime but would happily even ditch that.

        I followed the ArchWiki article https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Greetd

        It supports various different greeters and I used agreety, recently I switched to qtgreet using Sway. I also needed to add some PAM configs so that it could automatically unlock kwallet and gnome-keyring.

        I didn’t use auto-login but as you’ll see, there is section in the article that is dedicated to that.
