So I google etc/slim.conf to fid out what it is, and on the first link I find Warning: The SliM project has been abandoned (the project homepage is down, leaving a github mirror), That's on the archwiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SLiM They also warn that it's incompatible with systemd. I hope that's an arch-specific abandonment. The gentoo page doesn't have this warning. -- hendrik > > One more.
