Description:
GDM, the GNOME Display Manager, handles authentication-related backend
functionality for logging in a user and unlocking the user's session after
it's been locked. GDM also provides functionality for initiating user-switching,
so more than one user can be logged in at the same time. It handles
graphical session registration with the system for both local and remote
sessions (in the latter case, via the XDMCP protocol).  In cases where the
session doesn't provide it's own display server, GDM can start the display

GDM is not compatible with ALDOS because it requires SystemD to actually do
something. This package excludes the GDM binaries from /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.

Do not try to use GDM as display manager in ALDOS. It will not work, no matter
how much you tweak the system. It's deeply dependant on SystemD functions.
