Adoption
In 2013, Fedora KDE members decided to default to SDDM in Fedora 21.[7]
KDE chose SDDM to be the successor of the KDE Display Manager for KDE Plasma 5.[8][9] In 2023, KDE forked SDDM to form the basis of the new Plasma Login Manager, which will become KDE's default login manager starting with Plasma 6.6.[10][11]
The LXQt developers recommend SDDM as a display manager.[12]
