[SOLVED] How can I start tbsm when I boot up my PC?

Hi there, I wanted to switch from SDDM to tbsm because I like the way it looks. I can use it by disabling sddm and running tbsm in tty1 upon boot, but I can't use systemd to enable tbsm as I get the error

Failed to enable unit: Unit file tbsm.service does not exist.

How do I get tbsm to run when I boot my computer?

The thing doesn't look like it's also a login manager, so you conditionally run it in your shells login scripts, eg. ~/.bash_profile
See also https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ge … al_console and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xi … X_at_login (except you don't want to startx but tbsm instead)

Edit: also https://loh-tar.github.io/tbsm/
