add menu for selecting display manager

Open zlianon opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

It would be convenient if the desktop profiles offered the ability to choose a display manager. Currently that is locked in to the profiles, even even tho post-configuration can be done to change this quite easily, it would be beneficial to be able to change the option before the installation is complete.

Could you elaborate with a description? :)

e.g. i3 profile forces lightdm installation, it would be good to offer alternatives

I updated the description as to what I think you wish for. I also made the argument for you why this would be a good thing.

This has historically not been in scope because it can be considered post-installation configuration. And some people would surely argue that it's good enough to have something working and tweak it.

Which is why I'll leave this issue open for a while, to see what the general consensus is so we can discuss it :)

@Torxed we can close this as it should be resolved with the new profile manger
