       I see this prompted a bunch of spicy takes, so to be clear -- in the near term, 🤷. SDDM will continue to work as it does now.Why the 😞? It's about uncertainty. Is a significant amount of SDDM development and maintenance effort coming from KDE folks, who will now be working on PLM instead? Are Linux distributions migrating from SDDM to PLM?https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/2148

       @emaste KDE Plasma has two login managers in dominant use:* SDDM* LightDMPlasma Login Manager was forked from SDDM to offer a more integrated option leveraging systemd and Plasma features, but @kde (as a project) still supports SDDM (and continues to develop its SDDM integrations) for non-systemd OSes, and the LightDM KDE Greeter also exists as well (though it's not commonly used).We want to continue supporting our BSD friends if they can help us in doing so. KDE ❤️ FreeBSD.
