# lightdm
|
||||
|
||||
LightDM is a lightweight, cross-desktop display manager used to handle graphical logins on Linux systems. It provides the login screen (called a greeter) and manages user sessions, including authentication and session launching.
|
||||
|
||||
**🧭 Key Features of LightDM:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Lightweight and fast: Designed to use minimal system resources compared to heavier alternatives like GDM (GNOME Display Manager).
|
||||
- Cross-desktop compatibility: Works with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and other desktop environments.
|
||||
- Greeter flexibility: Supports multiple greeter front-ends, such as:
|
||||
- LightDM GTK Greeter (default for many distros)
|
||||
- Slick Greeter (used by Linux Mint)
|
||||
- Webkit Greeter (HTML/CSS-based)
|
||||
- Remote login support: Includes protocols like XDMCP and VNC for remote graphical sessions.
|
||||
- Guest sessions and autologin: Can be configured for temporary guest accounts or automatic login.
|
||||

```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
# /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
|
||||

|
||||
autologin-user=public
|
||||
autologin-user-timeout=5
|
||||
# Uncomment the following, if running Unity
