So I google etc/slim.conf to fid out what it is, and on the first link
I find
Warning: The SliM project has been abandoned (the project homepage is
down, leaving a github mirror),

That's on the archwiki

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SLiM

They also warn that it's incompatible with systemd.

I hope that's an arch-specific abandonment.
The gentoo page doesn't have this warning.
