lemurs

lemurs [options]

lemurs is a terminal-based display and login manager for Linux and BSD systems. It uses PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) for authentication and can serve as the front-end for TTY, X11, or Wayland sessions. It works both with and without systemd.
Session environments are configured by placing scripts in /etc/lemurs/wms for X11 xinitrc scripts and /etc/lemurs/wayland for Wayland compositor scripts.

/etc/lemurs/config.toml

Main configuration file for customizing the login screen appearance and behavior.

Directory for X11 session scripts.

Directory for Wayland session scripts.

Requires PAM for authentication. Session scripts must be executable. Some desktop environments may require additional configuration to work with a TUI-based display manager.

lemurs was created by coastalwhite and is written in Rust. It is available in the Arch Linux extra repository.
