According to upstream the use of /etc/sddm.conf should be deprecated.

A community member raised the topic

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-should-not-install-sddm-conf/170683

Question is now - does it serve a purpose - as /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf is installed and defaulting to x11?

Source?

A community member...

...and almost everyone else replying caused more confusion.

Any /etc/conf.d/ configuration file overrides anything in /etc/.

...does it serve a purpose... ?

Since configuration files in /etc/ override the defaults in /usr/lib/, then you already have your answer.

Whether we still need / want it or not? You'll have to ask @philm since he created it. It hasn't been touched in over two years.

Calamares still uses /etc/sddm.conf: https://github.com/calamares/calamares/blob/calamares/src/modules/displaymanager/displaymanager.conf#L80. I can look if other distros who are Plasma-centric do it in a different way.

It needed some more changes:

We might need to debate if we want the manjaro.conf not merged into kde_settings.conf

On second thought the 00_manjaro.conf should be overwritten by kde_settings.conf when sddm is using alphabetical order...
