New comment by fosslinux on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/21862#issuecomment-628309188 Comment: As @sgn said, however, what if they did something like `export DISPLAY=10.0.0.1:1` to do xorg over the network and launch sddm there? This is a valid usecase that would mean the user doesn't require an X server. I run sddm and it seems it wants a X socket/DISPLAY to access, not a hard dependency on xorg... Happy to be corrected though.
