I must admit i am not well versed with display managers or pam, but it is as far as i could understand « the » fix for limits not working properly when logging in with lightdm. After some looking up online, i found a few reddit threads ultimately linking back to this one sharing this fix.
As far as i could gather, this isn’t a problem of upstream because systemd does something that makes this unnecessary/instills the limits even without this ? And that it supports systemd first/only, hence the patch here rather than upstream.
