Important Note! (Alpha-Stage Software)

This app is in an early stage of development (it is mostly feature complete). It may crash frequently.

How to Install?

On Arch/Manjaro

This app is available in the AUR as gdm-settings and gdm-settings-git (recommended). You can install it using your favorite AUR helper. For example,

yay -S gdm-settings-git

or

paru -S gdm-settings-git

or

pamac install gdm-settings-git

Note: I recommend installing gdm-settings-git instead of regular gdm-settings package because in this stage of development, gdm-settings-git, having new fixes included, may have fewer issues (relatively).
