The move replaces SDDM but means giving up on custom login themes.

From their repo:

Plasma Login

Plasma Login provides a display manager for KDE Plasma, forked from SDDM and with an new frontend providing a greeter, wallpaper plugin integration and System Settings module (KCM).

What we want

  • Great out-of-box experience in multi-monitor and high DPI and HDR
  • Keyboard layout switching
  • Virtual keyboards
  • Easy Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese (CJK) input
  • Screen readers for blind people (which then means volume control)
  • Remote (VNC/RDP) support from startup
  • Deeper Plasma integration including:
    • Display and keyboard brightness control
    • Full power management
    • Pairing trusted bluetooth devices
    • Login to known Wi-Fi for remote LDAP

        ??? are you being serious? obviously fedorah isnt arch.

        anyway, Cachy will have it the second KDE adds it to the plasma / kde-applications packages.

            He’s not talking about fedora, he didn’t ask about if fedora’s changes would make it into cachy os but about the timeframe on how quickly the plasma login manager being a default for the plasma desktop environment on cachy os. Talk about whiffing right over the head, I think it must’ve been in orbit.

              Sure, that was cleared up a couple hours ago when OP clarified as such. Since texture apparently wanted to argue (given his many comments posted long after the clarification), I thought I’d play along for him.

              Why don’t you send me even more replies over the next few days, I’m sure that will be really helpful!

        I guess that person didn’t know they could set it up themselves. Maybe they meant that it’s installed and configured automatically on new installs.

          they would still be totally wrong. it will be available for new installs the moment kde adds it to the plasma packages. their comment makes zero sense.

        Duh, but now that this has replaced SDDM as the main login manager for plasma, Cachy will likely replace SDDM with it by default.
