I honestly haven't found any good reading material other then the arch wiki which indeed vaguely outlines pros and cons, and I was wondering if the only significant advantage Is that you dont have go type your password in... Which ita a big advantage if you dont mind cold boot attacks ... Also automatic login Is handy if you dont mind privacy at all ... What do you think?
