I am running 3 Linux distros with Sid as my main one. I am curious
to know if it's possible to replace GDM with a BASH script. The
issue is complicated because I run 3 window managers with Sid and a
similar situation with the other 2 distros. Googling the problem
hasn't turned up much of interest. I am in Sid most of the time, so
the script could only apply here. Does anyone have any suggestions?
With all the same functionality? Unlikely.
As a simple "mystartx<session>"? Probably. Try looking at how the
simpler display-managers work (lightdm, slim, nodm etc).
I have been using this in my .bashrc file for years. Maybe it could
help you? I have never used GDM.
