sddm VS spotify-tui

Well, it seems it is still considered experimental https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/1737

There are dozens of threads everywhere about it since around early 2021. KDE will take over the SDDM project and that bug fix may soon finally be up-streamed.

LMAO the login issue was this https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1592

Wayland autologin does not work with sddm (if you're using such a configuration) https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1676

Thanks everyone for your time - installing xorg-minimal solved the issue; next version should solve the issue topic discussed in sddm github. I leave the following here just in case someone with skill & time comes across - seems a bit of love would not hurt sddm: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1471

Relevant to your keyboard configuration issue: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/703

Also fixed in -git

No, the picture shows that the login manager is still sddm, but somehow the login theme used by sddm has been reverted to the sddm default of the 'maui' instead of the 'breeze' theme used by default in Kubuntu. The package shipping the breeze theme (sddm-theme-breeze) may have become uninstalled, or sddm config changed somehow to not use breeze.

It was at this point I was getting a lot of joy out of writing command line applications. I had also just learnt of the existence of spotify-tui and wanted to explore more I could build such applications. So building interfaces for APIs felt like a good way to try this out.

If you are handy with a terminal, spotify-tui is my favorite Spotify controller I’ve ever used. No bullshit at all.

I switched to linux recently and iam loving it the speed and CLI tools that linux provides are amazing you can do anything imaginable in the terminal i use Spotify in the terminal navigate very very fast using auto-jump and its just easier than navigating all those uis and using the keyboard for everything is way faster and easier on your hand than the mouse and keyboard combination especially if you use a window manager

I dont know if it counts but I have used spotify tui on my pi400 a while ago link

For example, there's a couple reddit clients, YouTube viewers, Spotify clients and many many more.

If you want to run Spotify on a Raspberry (or PinePhone or some other device), there’s Spot, which is great, but kinda heavy and slow. There’s Spotify-qt which is faster, requires messing with Spotify developer dashboard, and UI doesn’t fit on small screens. Spotify-qt is itself based on Spotify-tui which runs in the terminal (pretty cool IMO). And a bare client/daemon is spotifyd. So you have quite a few choices there.
