tuigreet is a terminal-based graphical console greeter for greetd, providing a login interface with session management, user selection, and power controls. It is a maintained fork of the original tuigreet with a cleaner codebase, themeable UI, background animations, and multi-language support.

Use cases

  • replace a display manager with a lightweight greetd greeter
  • show a terminal login prompt on a Wayland or Xorg Linux system
  • remember the last logged-in username and session between reboots
  • customize the login screen with greetings, issue file, and clock
  • launch desktop sessions from .desktop files at login
  • add power controls like shutdown and reboot to the login screen

When to choose

  • you use greetd and want a minimal, terminal-based greeter
  • you run a Wayland or Xorg Linux setup without a full display manager
  • you want session persistence and user menus without heavy dependencies
  • you prefer a themeable, customizable login prompt

When to avoid

  • you need a full graphical display manager with mouse-driven login
  • you don't use greetd as your session manager
  • you need remote or network authentication beyond PAM
