<varname>services.xserver.desktopManager.pantheon</varname> default
enables lightdm as a display manager.
By default, <varname>services.xserver.desktopManager.pantheon</varname>
enables LightDM as a display manager, as pantheon's screen locking
implementation relies on it.
</para>
<para>
This is because of limitations with the screenlocking implementation,
whereas the screenlocker would be non-functional without it.

Because of that it is recommended to retain this precaution, however if
you'd like to change this set:

to <literal>false</literal> and enable your preferred display manager.
Because of that it is recommended to leave LightDM enabled. If you'd like
to disable it anyway, set
<option>services.xserver.displayManager.lightdm.enable</option> to
<literal>false</literal> and enable your preferred display manager.
</para>
</note>
<para>
Also be aware that we haven't enabled lightdm with Pantheon's greeter by
default. That's because it has numerous issues in NixOS and isn't optimal
for use here yet.
