nwg-hello is described as 'Nwg-hello is a GTK3-based greeter for the greetd daemon, written in python. It is meant to work under a Wayland compositor, like sway, Hyprland or labwc' and is an app. There are more than 10 alternatives to nwg-hello for Linux, Qt, i3, Wayland and Rust. The best nwg-hello alternative is Betterlockscreen, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like nwg-hello are Sea Greeter, Nody Greeter, Web Greeter and ddlm.

Sea (like C) greeter for LightDM allows to create themes with web technologies, the same as web-greeter, nody-greeter and the outdated lightdm-webkit2-greeter. This project aims to be similar to the last one, as sea-greeter is made with webkit2 instead of chromium.
Web Greeter is created with Python... which sometimes is slow. So, I wanted to re-create it with Node.js!




A modern, visually appealing greeter for LightDM, that allows to create web based themes with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.





Raw wayland greeter for greetd, to be run under sway or similar. Note that cage is currently not supported due to it lacking wlr-layer-shell-unstable support.

A clean and customizable GTK-based greetd greeter written in Rust using Relm4. This is meant to be run under a Wayland compositor (like Sway).
