i want to useradd a user that doesn't show up in the login window, is using the -r (system user) flag a good idea for that? is there another option that i can't find?

Your system may be reading the default config from /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf, in which case the config file in /etc will probably be empty. You should not edit the contents of a default config.

The recommended location for sddm.conf is within the /etc/sddm.conf.d/ directory, so also check for files there.
