You’re perfectly right, but completely wrong.
The sole functionality that Slim offers is a possibility to enter the UN/PW.
Some others will show the:
machine name
time and date
session choice
keyboard choice
language selector
toggle on-screen keyboard
shutdown/reboot options
…
It doesn’t count when typing the command instead of user name does something or when you have to press shift + ctrl + tab + del + space + insert + pgdn simultaneously to reach something.
Example:
If the Slim would offer 15 different functions and LightDM only 3 and my Grandma can explain me 2 of them in LightDM, but only 1 in Slim, then the LightDM obviously wins, because it has 2 functions to offer vs. only one that Slim can offer.
It does not count what 100 experts know and understand, but what 100 millions of Grandmas can see, understand and explain, completely without any knowledge, without forums, without studying the manuals and without speaking English to be able to write ‘reboot’ instead of the user name or press F1 to choose sessions and such crap. My grandma could speak 4 languages, but none of them was English.
Got what I mean? ‘Linux for Human Beings’.
P.S.
Since you know Slim in and out, could you please answer me one question? It’s not about antiX Slim.
In which file are the settings for positioning the input fields (UN/PW mask) and changing backgrounds in Slim? (‘In which file …’ because I’m not talking about antiX) Or — how one can say, input field should be positioned left/top, right/bottom, center/center?..
