+#+title: How to Remove the Login Manager from Fedora i3
+#+date: 2023-01-08
+#+description: Learn how to completely remove the login manager from Fedora i3.
+#+filetags: :linux:
+
+* Fedora i3's Login Manager
+Since I use the i3 spin of Fedora Workstation, I don't like to have a
+login manager installed by default. As of the current version of Fedora
+i3, the default login manager is LightDM.
+
+If this is no longer the case, you can search for currently-installed
+packages with the following command and see if you can identify a
+different login manager.
+
+#+begin_src sh
+sudo dnf list installed
+#+end_src
+
+* Removing the Login Manager
+In order to remove the login manager, simply uninstall the package.
+
+#+begin_src sh
+sudo dnf remove lightdm
+#+end_src
+
+* Launching i3 Manually
+In order to launch i3 manually, you need to set up your X session
+properly. To start, create or edit the =~/.xinitrc= file to include the
+following at the bottom.
+
+#+begin_src config
+exec i3
+#+end_src
+
+Now, whenever you log in to the TTY, you can launch your desktop with
+the following command.
+
+#+begin_src sh
+startx
+#+end_src
