Simple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM) is a display manager (a graphical login program) for the X11 and Wayland windowing systems.[4] SDDM was written from scratch in C++11 and supports theming via QML.[5]

SDDM is free and open-source software subject to the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.[3]

Adoption

In 2013, Fedora KDE members decided to default to SDDM in Fedora 21.[6]

KDE chose SDDM to be the successor of the KDE Display Manager for KDE Plasma 5.[7][8] In 2023, KDE forked SDDM to form the basis of the new Plasma Login Manager, which will become KDE's default login manager starting with Plasma 6.6.[9][10]

The LXQt developers recommend SDDM as a display manager.[11]
