Plasma is amazing and the thing that mostly bugs out on all my systems is SDDM by far, so this is totally the right choice.

SDDM (and GDM) can be a pain sometimes, so I welcome this.

I don't know much about login managers, but I do know that SDDM has been a pain in my ass on more than one occasion and on more than one distro.

On old Plasma versions (Debian) the Lock Screen manager would crash pretty much every week until I upgraded to the latest release.bitwolf@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 1y

Looking forward to its release.
