Display Managers are graphical programs used for starting the graphical
|
|
display (currently, the X server) and providing a login capability for
|
|
a Window Manager or Desktop Environment.

There are many Display Managers available. Some of the more well
|
|
known include:
|
|
<application>GDM</application>,
|
|
<application>KDM</application> (deprecated),
|
|
<application>LightDM</application>,
|
|
<application>LXDM</application>,
|
|
<application>Slim</application>, and
|
|
<application>SDDM</application>.

Among the Desktop Environments available for Linux you find:
|
|
<application>Enlightenment</application>,
|
|
<application>GNOME</application>,
|
|
<application>KDE</application>,
|
|
<application>LXDE</application>,
|
|
<application>LXQt</application>, and
|
|
<application>XFce</application>.

Choosing a Display Manager or Desktop Environment is highly subjective.
|
|
The choice depends on the look and feel of the packages, the resources
|
|
(memory and disk space) required, and the utilities included.

In this chapter, the installation instructions of some Display Managers
|
|
are presented. Later in the book, you will find other ones, which are
|
|
provided as part of some Desktop Environments.
