LightDM, a widely used Linux display manager and former default for Ubuntu, recently received its first major update in four years. Version 1.33.0 has been released under a new set of maintainers, addressing a backlog of fixes accumulated since the previous 2022 release. This "catch up" release introduces support for Qt6 while maintaining compatibility with Qt5. According to the release notes, "There shouldn't be any breaking changes either." Despite its legacy status, LightDM remains an active component across various Linux distributions and desktop environments.
