If you're going to use automatic login, why not cut out the middle man and
ditch the display manager entirely?

I did it . Steps :

1. Edit /etc/sddm.conf and added user and session under autologin 
2. sudo systemctl --force enable sddm 
3. cat /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service to see if everything 
works 
4. sudo reboot

I have an automatic login option in KDEs "System Settings" -> "Startup and
Shutdown"-> "Login Screen (SDDM)" -> "Advanced" -> "[ ] Auto Login".


The package extra/sddm-kcm is needed for that.

Hi.

I have an automatic login option in KDEs "System Settings" -> "Startup and
Shutdown"-> "Login Screen (SDDM)" -> "Advanced" -> "[ ] Auto Login".
Maybe that is what you are looking for.
I do not know anything about the config files since I do not use automatic
login.

Greetings
