    The arch wiki says

    Warning: As SDDM will be treated as a separate window by KWin, logging in will close the window. Therefore logging out or switching user will present undesirable behaviour.

    What exactly does this mean?

      What does this actually mean for users?, Just less X dependencies? or anything practical

        Probably nothing for users who can’t tell difference between X & Wayland. Some may notice performance improvement.

        For someone like me, I am just excited about trying out new stuff, and building a system without X is one!
