Ly

From ArchWiki

Ly is a lightweight TUI (ncurses-like) display manager for Linux and BSD, designed with portability in mind (e.g. it does not require systemd to run).

Installation

Install the ly package.

Dependencies

For the full Ly experience, it is recommended to install the brightnessctl package, which is responsible for managing screen brightness settings.

Usage

Two steps are reqired to start Ly at boot. First make sure to enable ly@ttyX.service, then disable getty@ttyX.service where X stands for a number from 1 to 6.

Configuration

All the configuration can be found in the /etc/ly/config.ini file. This file is fully commented, and includes the default values.
