I just installed a cisco vpn. And after installing some required libraries I got the option to get rid of "unused" libraries. So I did 'sudo apt autoremove' as suggested. After I rebooted I no longer have a either x11 or wayland in the drop down menu. I can no longer login via the GUI.

Running latest Debian.

Where did I go wrong? Any immediate help appreciated 🙏

Edit: The Cisco VPN required me to download libkit2gtk-4.0-dev if that has anything to do with it?

Edit2: Thanks for all the tips and help. Won't happen again 😅

I'm a KDE kinda guy. Also for some reason not allowed to connect to WiFi anymore(via Terminal) ... Been troubleshooting this for too long now. Just gonna get OpenSuse on this machine instead me thinks.

Yeah that's something I'll setup this time! ✨

Is Timeshift equally relevant on OpenSuse Tumbleweed? Or is it Snapper I should use instead?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
