This is a long-standing change resulting from #1964.
Actually the goal is to ease enabling/disabling autologin. With "lightdm-settings" installed, there is an administration/settings GUI "Login Window" available that allows among others to configure autologin. Contrary to its general purpose name, it works on LightDM greeter "slick-greeter" only.
Some further comments on the MR:
/var/run/lightdm
, which is not consistant over boots. End of June 2024 Alpine MR https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/68087 changed this to home directory /var/lib/lightdm
. However, this applies only to new installations since then. Changing the home directory of user "lightdm" on runtime cannot easily be done by post-upgrade script. Affected users would need to logout, stop lightdm service, change the home directory of user "lightdm" and start lightdm service again. Or alternatively just enable autologin to avoid "seeing" the greeter with the virtual keyboard.
