Hello.
I just upgraded to Linux Mint 22.1 from Mint 22, and wanted to try Wayland.

I pressed ctrl+alt+backspace, selected Wayland in the DE selection, and my system initially seemed to load perfectly fine, but I couldn't move my mouse. Then my screen turned black and the system would not respond to anything anymore, none of the hotkeys, not even holding the power button down to force a shutdown. Eventually I cut the power at the PSU.

Now I cannot boot into the OS anymore, the Linux Mint logo shows up like normal, and then the screen turns black and nothing works, other than holding the power button to shut it down again.
