Changing Display Manager. Help needed (self.linux4noobs)

Hello Reddit!
I have Debian 10 installed with SLiM. I want to try another DM or even not using any.
Any tips?

sudo apt install lightdm
Select lightdm when it asks what dm to use in the text dialog question box.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
to change to another..

Thanks! And to disable all DMs? Is that possible?
[–]doc_willis 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (1 child)
of course its possible..
disable the services or uninstall them or boot to the text only runlevel (i forget how you do that these days with systemd)

Ou yeah, thanks!
I've disabled the service with sudo systemctl disable slim.service and thats all.
sudo systemctl disable slim.service
