        (body
         (en "On Guix System in an operating system configuration, your value for the
@code{services} field is based on @code{%desktop-services} for desktop
machines.

The @code{%desktop-services} contains a login manager that is
architecture-dependent.  Previously, GDM has been used on x86_64 and SDDM on
other architectures.

Now, GDM is used on all 64-bit architectures.  This affects only AArch64 in
the end, as other 64-bit architectures aren't mature enough to use
%desktop-services, yet.

In case you're on AArch64 and you've changed the login manager, you will have
to adapt your config to remove @code{gdm-service-type} instead of
@code{sddm-service-type}.")))
