I would say an extremely small number. Why? Because the vast majority
would be installing a desktop and using the DM supplied with that
desktop. If a desktop uses lightDM then it would have been installed
with the necessary greeter. I don't think many go through the trouble
to install/change their DM. And, since many/most/some folks installing
Fedora start with GNOME the pieces needed for lightDM are already there
should they choose to install it.
FWIW, I found that nugget of documentation in the LightDM - ArchWiki
which is the only link I followed after searching on google for
lightdm. This I did after installing only lightDM and being faced with
a blank screen.
Ok, Fedora does not focus on being beginner friendly, other goals
like
leading edge virtualization are more important and actually that is
what draws me.
Anyhow, let's drop the issue for now, and see if anyone else twigs on
these words in the future. Cheers
Sounds like a plan!
