To work in the right direction here, it might be worth to point out in
this context, that the concept of a (multiplexing) prefdm.service
should go away sooner than, and all individual window manager should
install their own native service file from their own package.

Which of the window managers will be started at bootup will then
entirely be controlled by the 'enable' state of the systemd service
and not by some (awkward) global distro config/service file.
