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

Note You need to disable your current display manager. For example, if LightDM is the current display manager, you can disable it with systemctl disable lightdm.service.

Make sure to enable ly.service so Ly will be started at boot.

Configuration

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