+@uref{https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/greetd, @code{greetd}} is a minimal and
+flexible login manager daemon, that makes no assumptions about what you

+If you can run it from your shell in a TTY, greetd can start it. If it
+can be taught to speak a simple JSON-based IPC protocol, then it can be
+a geeter.
