Lemurs is a customizable terminal user interface (TUI) display/login manager written in Rust for GNU/Linux and BSD systems. It authenticates users via PAM and serves as a front-end for launching TTY, X11, and Wayland sessions, with or without systemd.
Use cases
- replace a heavyweight display manager with a lightweight TUI login screen
- log into X11 or Wayland window manager sessions from a terminal UI
- set up a login manager on a minimal Linux or BSD install without systemd
- switch between multiple window manager and compositor environments at login
- customize the look and behavior of the login screen in Rust
When to choose
- you use a tiling window manager or compositor and want a minimal, keyboard-driven login manager
- your system lacks systemd or you prefer systemd-free setups
- you want a lightweight, customizable alternative to GDM, SDDM, or LightDM
When to avoid
- you need a graphical login screen with mouse support or theming via images
- you want out-of-the-box desktop environment integration without writing session scripts
- you need features like fingerprint, smartcard, or remote authentication beyond PAM
