Appreciate the correction. Honestly haven't delved with desktop Linux much though I plan on swapping from Windows again. Know things over the years, but miss the mark on some things. I corrected my original comment for accuracy.
Thanks, though your correction is also incorrect. Display managers, like SDDM, GDM, or LightDM, are the login screen. They're called "display managers" for historical reasons, but they also run on top of the display server.
Aw shucks thought I put server not manager lol.
Anecdotally, this thread reminded me of a time I circumvented my high schools filtering via using X11 to display Firefox on their Macs from a laptop I was using as a server haha.
