Installing LightDM should be relatively easy. I haven't tried it, but some distros (e.g., Antergos) ship GNOME Shell with it instead of GDM.


If memory serves correctly when installing lightdm you must be sure to install lightdm-gtk-greeter first. Otherwise you'll end up with unity-greeter and a boat load of unwanted unity related packages.

Or, better than depending on my shoddy memory, always use the -s suffix to test what'll be installed, eg;

apt-get install lightdm -s

    That's a good point!

    I think once while I was testing lxde/gnome/unity all at once I
    managed to have the lxde login screen and later boot into gnome.
    But I do not recommend it. Big mess. But maybe if done properly?
