LightDM Greeter Minimization and Xfce Session Compatibility in Linux Mint

Developers aiming to lower operational costs for a low‑traffic Linux Mint deployment want to run the Xfce edition with a streamlined LightDM greeter. The goal is to cut GPU and CPU consumption by disabling the greeter animation, hiding the user list, and turning off non‑essential plugins such as indicator‑sound and indicator‑bluetooth while keeping the Xfce desktop functional. It is unclear whether these greeter modifications interfere with the Xfce session start‑up process, affect panel autostart entries, or limit the functionality of Mint‑specific tools that rely on certain LightDM services. Therefore, the following questions need clarification: Does disabling indicator‑sound and indicator‑bluetooth or setting greeter‑hide‑users=true prevent Xfce from launching correctly? Does a minimal LightDM theme break any Xfce panel or autostart scripts? Are MintUpdate and MintReport known to depend on LightDM greeter features that would be removed by these changes?
