Installing tuigreet currently does not pull in greetd as a dependency as it should (?) to be functional and also
doesn't set anything up. I'd expect a working tuigreeter / display manager after a reboot where I could choose
my session and log in to various installed DE/WM environments. I guess during install it also should ask me
which display manager I'd like to use if I have more of them (dpkg-reconfigure?).

I like the concept of a minimal display manager that would be able to start even full DEs like Gnome with
full session, lock, power support (without GDM) as tuigreet's own github page advertises.
