Hello guys, I’ve recently made the transition from Debian-based distro hopping to this, really loving it so far! I’m having one issue tho. When I login after a reboot or a shutdown (regular ones, not forced or anything) it’s a bit of a lottery if im going to get an x11 or Wayland session, and I hav…
