  • Ilumar@lemmy.ziptoLinux@programming.dev•All Fedora 44 KDE Variants To Use Plasma Login Manager Rather Than SDDM

    From PLMs GitHub:

    Plasma Login is in a prototype state and is not considered ready for real-world usage.

    I just tried it out anyway, because SDDM sucks. PLM no longer uses the lowest common resolution for all displays and HDR works about as well as it does in plasma (sometimes I get a black screen and have to turn the display off and on). Still better than SDDM. It also integrates with KDEs system settings so it’s easy to setup.

    Auto-login does not work however, so I’ll be sticking with SDDM for now, but I’m looking forward to the stable release.

    I’ve never used bcachefs so no help from me there.

    /boot/efi is no longer considered an appropriate mount point

    It’s not typical, but it should still work. systemd-boot even looks for the ESP there by default among /boot and /efi
    Personally I use /efi.

    just create a EFI partition and mount it /efi and let the OS put /boot inside the root partition if it needs it., then throw a UKI on /boot/efi/EFI/Linux

    If I’m reading this correctly you mounted the ESP to /efi and then put the UKI in /boot/efi anyway. It needs to be on the ESP.
    My /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset looks like this, if it helps. If you were to use /boot/efi for the ESP you would have to change the paths here.

    /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset 
    # mkinitcpio preset file for the 'linux' package

#ALL_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
ALL_kver="/boot/vmlinuz-linux"

PRESETS=('default' 'fallback')

#default_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
#default_image="/boot/initramfs-linux.img"
default_uki="/efi/EFI/Linux/arch-linux.efi"
#default_options="--splash /usr/share/systemd/bootctl/splash-arch.bmp"

#fallback_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
#fallback_image="/boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img"
fallback_uki="/efi/EFI/Linux/arch-linux-fallback.efi"
fallback_options="-S autodetect"

    its possible that UKI, systemd-boot, bcachefs, and the /efi mountpoint are not a great mix

    I don’t see the point of systemd-boot with UKIs. All it does is chain-load the EFI boot stub in the UKI anyway. I just used efibootmgr to create an entry in the UEFI which boots the UKI directly.
