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.

Never bothered to set one up either! I type `startx` and get dumped into dwm. (Udiskie is a nice addition for automounting drives too.)

  I also type "startx". Never saw the point of a display manager (which might be my own shortcoming!).

Yup, but I still have graphics start on a tty ;) I just don't have a login because I use an ephemeral OS (custom alpine base) with runit. It's like windows 95 all over again, you start the computer and that's it, use it. Highly recommended, no passwords just yubikeys

Switch console, ^z and you got a login shell. Handy for anyone who happends to find your device.
