KDE Plasma has two login managers in dominant use:
* SDDM
* LightDM
Plasma Login Manager was forked from SDDM to offer a more integrated option leveraging systemd and Plasma features, but KDE (npub1ncy…3x0q) (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.
