Wow, I'm excited and hopeful of this. I've always felt how jarring it is on #Linux or rather #KDE Plasma, that there are 2 separate settings - far apart from each other, into customising the configuration (at least the appearance/theme) of the login screen and the lock screen when really.. to the end-user, shouldn't they be the same? This fragmentation is probably not good in the long run (for KDE) and creating one, specifically for Plasma, would unlock a lot of new use cases.

Another screenshot from my early Linux days:

Running SUSE Linux 9.0, listening to music with XMMS, texting on ICQ with Kopete, emailing with Thunderbird, and browsing my personal homepage in Firebird.

And it looks like I was trying to compile a kernel module for my server’s IDE RAID PCI card…

KDE developers show off SDDM replacement

KDE's login manager, SDDM, has its share of problems, and as such, a number of KDE developers are working on replacement to fix many of these long-standing issues. So, what exactly is wrong with SDDM as it exists today?

With SDDM, power management is reinvented from scratch with bespoke configuration. We can't integrate with Plasma's network management, p

@aho The issue WAS that right alt no longer invoked special characters in applications. Instead it opened an in-app menu or did nothing. This issue was layout independent. I compared the keyboard section of #KDE Settings app to a working system. Here's the solution:

System settings -> Keyboard -> Key Bindings -> enable "Configure Keyboard Options" -> "Switching to another layout"

"Both Alts together" was enabled
I disabled it and chose "Both Alts together; AltGr alone choses third level"
