The developers of Ubuntu have released version 1.33.0 of the LightDM display manager, which is used in Linux Mint, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, and Ubuntu MATE. LightDM provides a background process for launching display servers and graphical login modules, as well as organizing user authentication via PAM and remote desktop connections. The project is not tied to specific desktop environments or protocols (X11, Wayland) and is notable for its low memory consumption. The code is written in C and is distributed under the GPL license.
The new version includes support for Qt6 in the liblightdm-qt library, which is designed for developing graphical login screens. The ability to use Qt5 is retained as an option. It includes bug fixes accumulated over the past 4 years since the last update and performance optimizations.
