emptty

Dead simple, lightweight CLI display manager for starting X11/Wayland sessions from a TTY.

Desktopfreeglobal

A dead-simple command-line display manager that runs on a text console and launches X11 or Wayland sessions. It adds session selection, default TTY configuration, and issue/MOTD display so users can avoid manual startx or heavier GUI display managers; intended for minimalist or resource-constrained Linux desktops and self-hosted setups, released under the MIT license.
