Simon Ser ca45c22376 readme: mark display managers as supported
It's been a long while since we've heard about issues related to
display managers. Some used to be unreliable in the past, but by
now most issues have been ironed out. Let's start supporting them
officially.

I've considered translating other languages but I'm concerned about
messing up the sentence. I've updated languages I'm comfortable
with.
