We all know that the most important thing in a project is the ideology of the author and the movements he wants to support, so [**#stopchatcontrol**](https://stopchatcontrol.eu).

# Backstory
I went into summer travel to visit family with an old laptop that barely supports x86_64, and ly recently added some avx2 instructions I think (I just get invalid op codes), manually building (any previous commit too) didn't work because of something in the `build.zig` file, so out of boredom I decided to craft up my own simple display manager on the only language this thing can handle, ✨C✨ (I hate this and reserve the right for the rust rewrite, actually solid).

I spedrun it, basically did in in 3 days on the same couch on [unhelty back positions (even worse)](https://i.redd.it/4bkje8amisu61.png) while touching *some* grass (:o), and I'm bad af in C, so this is spaghetti code on **another** level. I think it doesn't do almost anything unsafe, I mean, I didn't check allocations and it's capable of reallocating memory until your username uses all memory and crashes the system due to a off by 1 error, but pretty consistent otherwise (probably).
The name is just ly byt changing "y" with "i", that had a reason but forgot it, (maybe the i in *simple*), so I remembered this sh*tty laptop with a lid, this thing is also a display manager (dm, ly command is also `ly-dm`), so just did lidm due to all that.

Btw, this laptop is so bad that I can't even render markdown in reasonable time, I'll just push this and fix render issues live :)

# Requirements
* A computer with unix based system.
* That system should have the resources neccessary for this program to make sense (sessions, users...)

# Installation
* You can put the compiled binary anywhere you want tbh, you can even setuid it if you want to run it with any user, but code's not too safe 😬.
* Prepare the [configuration](#configuring)
* Make a service file for this if you want it on launch, just check how ly does it, this works pretty much the same way.
# Configuring
Copy `config.ini` (if I haven't moved it) to `/etc/lidm.ini` and configure it to your liking. Also, don't place empty lines (for now).
