    I’ve experienced it twice that my Ubuntu system uninstalled xwayland while updating packages. The UI doesn’t start any more in this case, because the login screen still uses it.

      Wait

      Ubuntu uses GNOME. Xwayland is one of GNOME’s dependencies. meaning apt bricked your GNOME for no apperent reason???

      Though if your dm breaks, you should still be able to log into a TTY and start your desktop manually. This is what I do for my Hyprland install, since I don’t see a reason to use a dm personally.

        I’m using Hyprland as well, but I didn’t intentionally uninstall anything from Gnome. I don’t know how it happens.
