+<alert type="danger" icon="fa fa-exclamation-triangle">Using xorg (enable SDDM) as root can be a security risk! You can use xinit instead.</alert>
+===== xinit =====
+The //disadvantage// of this method is that you have to log in via terminal.
+So install ''plasma'' and ''xorg'' as described above and skip ''enable sddm'' and do the following instead:
+<code>
+pacman -S xorg-xinit
+</code>
+<code>
+cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc
+</code>
+<code>
+nano ~/.xinitrc
+</code>
+Comment out:
+<code>
+# twm &
+# xclock -geometry 50x50-1+1 &
+# xterm -geometry 80x50+494+51 &
+# xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
+# exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login
+</code>
+<code>
+echo "export DESKTOP_SESSION=plasma
+exec startplasma-x11" >> ~/.xinitrc
+</code>
+<code>
+echo "if [ -z "${DISPLAY}" ] && [ "${XDG_VTNR}" -eq 1 ]; then
+  exec startx
+fi" >> ~/.bash_profile
+</code>
