Something I would miss without a login manager would be the start of the D-Bus session bus, or the unlocking of the system keyring.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does that stuff still happen? I didn't try this but I had kinda hoped this stuff got fixed with the introduction of systemd.
I think so. With corresponding user services this should not be a problem. I am not sure though since my machines run openrc and runit.
