What is some not so well-known and very specific but useful piece of software that you use?
tbsm, a terminal-based session manager. I like to login into a tty, so I enjoy not having to load x11 just to select which wm/de I'll use.

Ly – A TUI Display Manager
I made a quick survey of text-based display managers a couple days ago. Ly looks fantastic, but I went with tbsm, which had almost no dependencies and was super simple to get going.

A linux newbie has installed and configured Arch. Minimalist graphical capabilities?
Check out https://github.com/apognu/tuigreet if you want a terminal based display manager.

musl-void + flatpak appreciation post
Many PRs have been opened to add Ly to the repos, they've all been rejected because of the submodule thing and because it's had some severe technical issues. I really don't understand this subreddit's obsession with that specific greeter. If you want something in the repos that provides an almost identical interface, use greetd + tuigreet.

swaylock at boot instead of greeter?

NixOS Tuigreet and SystemD
Relevant Github issue.

Add custom keymap
However, from what I understand, I think that setxkbmap only sets the layout after starting Xorg. Infact when I first boot the computer and get to my display manager tuigreet (which is a TUI application that runsi in a tty), I have to type my credentials in QWERTY because of course Xorg has not started yet.

Ly display manager : characters rendered on top of the box
I like it because it just works. Install the packages, set greetd to use tuigreet, enable the greetd service, and you're done. Also subjectively I like the UI better.

A visual representation of march=native on a different computer, I'm surprised it got that far.

Ly – A TUI Display Manager
Knowing the alternative tuigreet (https://github.com/apognu/tuigreet), there won't be much of a difference between a video and the given screenshot. You have a prompt, you enter username and password and your Wayland compositor/X session starts up.
