Tested on two current/amd64 devices.

I have been using sddm on the home computer for about two weeks.

Works decently. I even tried a Debian Tuxedo OS preview install to
compare against, and OpenBSD was faster than the linux at loading the
Desktop on that old potato. Prodigious, really.

I built it on the main laptop(second device), the xenocara WMs/Desktops
work fine, other than the base WM's which I am unsure if the .desktop
files for those should be added with sddm or should include them at the
base set level.

If you are accepting suggestions, would the user number next to _gdm,
675 or replace _kdm, 730 be a good number to recycle?

Also, is the plan for sddm be added to the kde-plasma-extras
meta-package?

Hope this helps. Happy hacking and may you have a good one.
