Simple Desktop Display Manager
Simple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM) is a display manager (a graphical login program) for the windowing systems X11 and Wayland. SDDM was written from scratch in C++11 and supports theming via QML.[1]
SDDM is free and open-source software subject to the requirements of the GNU General Public License version two or later.
Adoption
In 2013, Fedora KDE members decided to default to SDDM in Fedora 21.[2]
Simple Desktop Display Manager was adopted as default graphical login program by Hawaii.[3]
KDE chose SDDM to be the successor of the KDE Display Manager for KDE Plasma 5.[3][4]
