I WANTED TO TAKE A SCREENSHOT BUT I CANT DO IT IN THE LOGIN SCREEN 😭

Basically, I wanted to try and switch to Wayland to see if the issues were really just caused by essentially a duplicate driver running at a different version, but then when I want to switch, it only gives me the option of "GNOME" and "GNOME Classic"

You don't need to install wayland

#

GNOME should install whatever it needs

#

       │ File: /etc/gdm/custom.conf
───────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   1   │ # GDM configuration storage
   2   │ 
   3   │ [daemon]
   4   │ # Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use Xorg
   5   │ #WaylandEnable=false
   6   │ 
   7   │ [security]
   8   │ 
   9   │ [xdmcp]
  10   │ 
  11   │ [chooser]
  12   │ 
  13   │ [debug]
  14   │ # Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
  15   │ #Enable=true
