In the spirit of minimalism, I should switch my login manager from gdm to something else. Will have to figure out what that someonething else is.

It needs to be able to start a GNOME/XOrg session, and a Niri (wayland) session too.

Looked through the suggestions, and I think I'm gravitating towards something textual, like #greetd + #tuigreet.

I haven't tried them yet, but based on screenshots, I'm not a big fan of tuigreet. F3 to choose a session feels clunky, and the whole session setup is... a bit complicated and awkward for my liking.

So I might end up writing my own greeter for greetd. I like the concept. I just don't like tuigreet. I'm also not a big fan of the graphical ones, because they require starting up Xorg or Wayland, while ideally, I'd prefer not doing that until logging in.

Although, to be fair, #gtkgreet and #ReGreet aren't looking all that bad, so those are on the table too.
