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.

NixOS Tuigreet and SystemD

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.

GRUB config

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.
