   I started purging #xorg / #X11 from my system.
   I could not get #sddm to work on #wayland so i removed it.
   Now i use dbus-launch.

   Maybe i should use #GNOME #GDM? xD

     How so? A login manager has a much greater attack surface than fbcon+getty+login.
     
     A secure way to start wewlad is; if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then exec dbus-run-session sway; fi
     
     Due to the 'exec', if wayland crashes or is terminated, the session will logout.

     @xgqt I currently directly launch Wayland from the TTY, but I'm aware that it's not a good idea from a security standpoint. I haven't used greetd so take this recommendation with a grain of salt, but at the same time a lot of Wayland users I know make use of it.

     Wow! A rust pkg that has less than 100 deps.

     I might check it out but first I will experiment with gdm.

     @xgqt why not use greetd?

     @romin Sadly that's the only way to launch sway.
     
     I tried sway for a while, but I went back to i3 as things just tend to work on Xorg/X11 and I don't get forced vsync.

     @romin @cel7t @Suiseiseki

     Amazing idea, awful implementation.
