Description

The GNOME Display Manager, responsible for the graphical login screen and starting desktop sessions. It handles user selection, authentication flow, session startup, and display-manager behavior.

Use it as a system component, not as a normal app. Changing display manager settings can affect login access, so keep a recovery path before replacing or reconfiguring it.

How to run
