sddm.conf - sddm display manager configuration
Configuration loads all files in the configuration directories
followed by the configuration file in the order listed below with the latter
having highest precedence. Changes should be made to the local
configurations.
- /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d
- System configuration directory
