ly VS ly-gentoo

So I'm looking to change from SDDM to Ly. I'm using the Sway Fedora spin. How do I do this seemlessly so that my system continues to work correctly?

I prefer ly, because it's simple.

Display manager I'm using ly that should launch Qtile via the desktop entry residing at /usr/share/wayland-sessions/qtile-wayland.desktop, using qtile- start -b wayland.

I made a pull request some time ago ( https://github.com/fairyglade/ly/pull/479). In some places the tty was hardcoded and it didn't read it from the /etc/ly/config.ini file.

I use ly

I installed ly display manager in Fedora 37 following the instructions provided in their github page. I disabled the gdm service by sudo systemctl disable gdm.service and enabled ly service with sudo systemctl enable ly.service.

In general, it's tough to go too wrong, and with a good display manager you should be able to switch between them painlessly for experimenting with. (I like ly for a minimal setup!)

I've tried to make some other DMs work, except from SDDM and greetd. I see a bunch of packages done by enthusiasts but I don't find any example usage. Like there was a ly(https://github.com/fairyglade/ly) pakage out there but I don't know how it should work.

I was try to install the ly display manager after freshly installing arch. I installed git, and after attempting to do the command $ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/fairyglade/ly

Yeah I copied it from here: https://github.com/pspiagicw/ly-gentoo/blob/master/res/ly

There are a lot of issues on the github page for this. I tried agetty, OpenRC services, but nothing worked because was ly segfaulting. There is a fork that works for gentoo: https://github.com/pspiagicw/ly-gentoo. This fork doesn't work that good, you can see the issues of the fork here: https://github.com/nullgemm/ly/issues/190#issuecomment-765918062. If you find a working solution, please let me know :)
