touchcursor-linux VS tuigreet

I’m using this utility touchcursor-Linux I hope it helps

Hi, so I wanted to set up touchcursor for ubuntu like in windows. I used this repo https://github.com/donniebreve/touchcursor-linux. Did everything as instructed, but it's still not working. I found the keyboard name, edited the config, run make, make install, and restart. Still not working. Tried listing the running services and couldn't find touchcursor, is it not running or something? Has anyone faced the same issue? Please help, I really want it, can't work properly without it.

I'll check it out, right now I'm using https://github.com/donniebreve/touchcursor-linux and it works great but I always like to try out this sort of projects.

Check out https://github.com/apognu/tuigreet if you want a terminal based display manager.

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.

i like greetd using tuigreet

Relevant Github issue.

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.

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.

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.
