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]

The LXQt developers recommend SDDM as a display manager.[9]

gollark: We have an official *vanilla* server, but I think people here are on different ones for modded.
gollark: A link to what?
gollark: End gateways would be excellent decoration blocks. With spatial IO I can use them that way, but there's competition to grab them all so I can only get four or so.
gollark: Lakes of end portals...
gollark: The scanner/builder/composer can do a lot, but it's kind of difficult to understand and not well documented.
