The x11 login screen can be skipped entirely, automatically logging you into
your window manager and desktop environment when you boot your computer.

This is especially helpful if you have disk encryption enabled. Since you
already have to provide a password to decrypt your disk, entering a second
password to login can be redundant.

To enable auto-login, you need to define your default window manager and
desktop environment. If you wanted no desktop environment and i3 as your your
window manager, you'd define:
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-services.xserver.desktopManager.default"/> = "none";
<xref linkend="opt-services.xserver.windowManager.default"/> = "i3";
</programlisting>
And, finally, to enable auto-login for a user <literal>johndoe</literal>:
<programlisting>
<xref linkend="opt-services.xserver.displayManager.auto.enable"/> = true;
<xref linkend="opt-services.xserver.displayManager.auto.user"/> = "johndoe";
</programlisting>
