I don’t know whether it’s me or my hardware, but display managers seem to absolutely hate me. I’ve tried quite a few, and I’ve always encountered some sort of issue within a few days. Even on distros that install and set them up automatically for me.

Since I’m the only user of my computers, I’ve set mine up to log me in and startx (well, now the Wayland equivalent) automatically, bypassing the DM altogether. If I decide to experiment with other window managers/desktop environments, I just change the line in my bashrc.
