I'm currently rewriting the greeter to use QtWebEngine. I'm planning to change the name of the package to web-greeter once the rewrite is complete :smiley:

Ah... Good job I use 'gdm-plymouth'. I have this thing of using GNOME and having no QT/KDE at all on my systems. That also stretches to no 'lib32-anything' ;-)

Sorry to say I dont really see the point in that. Qt has become a modular platform so its not like it used to be (where you had to install almost all of KDE when you installed Qt)

I am of the old school of I don't need masses of packages from here and there to make a system. I know what I want to do and if gnome/gtk does not provide it, I will code it. I come from old Red Hat and RHEL and I have some old man traits for lean systems - no mix and match. ;-)

Yeah I can respect that. I don't think it is very sensible to my own workflow, but if you like it then that's really all that matters :+1:
