Description

@kennylevinsen

A normal Arch system has two options for providing seat access:

  1. seatd (the daemon)
  2. systemd-logind

And yet, the options provided by archinstall is:

  1. seatd
  2. polkit

polkit does not provide any form of seat access. However, if systemd is built with polkit support as it is for Arch, polkit becomes a hard dependency of systemd-logind to function, as it will in this case query polkit for
permission checks and fail if not present. For polkit to not be required, systemd would have to have been built with polkit support disabled.

As such, the question is whether you want to use systemd-logind (which requires polkit because of Arch's choice of build flags), or seatd (which requires just enabling the service - a display server supporting it would depend on the package to pull in libseat).
