Detailed Description
LightDM is very, very lightweight. In fact, gdm is larger by an order of magnitude! These metrics don't include the dependencies; while gdm relies on several hefty GNOME libraries, LightDM does not share such a limitation, even counting the default theme alongside it. In addition, LightDM is well-known for its theme abilities which make it very appealing. gdm lacks theming completely. Ubuntu Linux and all of its official derivatives uses LightDM as its display manager.
Benefit to Fedora
