Anyone else just not use any DM? The user/password prompt is sufficient for me and then my shell calls startx when initialized from the tty. It was mostly due to laziness that I did not feel like experimenting with any when I first migrated to Linux but then I just never felt the need to install one. My PC boots, asks me for user/password, then boots the X session and Cinnamon DE.
I use this on NixOS[0] with the Matrix digital rain animation and enjoy it way too much :)

How did you get this to work? (See the config and did this before but never got ly to work on nixos, i migth have just been to early i guess)
Ive been using LY on arch for a while, and it is great looking, when it works, but it has lots of issues. Mostly related to multi monitor, kernel warnings filling up the screen, and for all being just sligthly broken. But then again probably user error.
It's great to see this pop up once in a while on HN. Nice to see that it's been rewritten in Zig !
