Ly crashes if password is wrong twice
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.

Window manager suggestion for arch newbie
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!)

Is there a minimal working demo of greetd with wlgreet?
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.

Ly display manager issues!
After building & installing ly demonstrate manager (https://github.com/nullgemm/ly) i can'tseem to start it as there is no entry in /etc/sv to start. I then came across this: https://github.com/drozdowsky/ly-void. A build of ly that supports runit & sure enough it has a service to start however when i restart my pc and ly display manager starts, even with the right credentials it does not log in, only turning off my monitor for a moment then booting back into the display manager screen. This is the case for starting my window manager, starting my .xinitrc however it can successfully start the shell. Any help would be greatly appreciated to either start the official build, or to correct the modified one.

Bloated base install?
I definitely know what you mean; I used to use ly (and haven't been able to figure out how to write a package/service for it, yet) and would love to use that, again.

Display Managers and TTY
Yes, actually! Ly is a console-based display manager that allows you to select your login target between any of the standard sessions (KDEs, GNOMEs, and what have you), explicit launching of .xinitrc, or just dropping straight into terminal.
