I successfully installed Debian 12 (with the KDE Plasma DE) on my PC, and the first time I logged into the desktop environment,
I noticed there were two desktop sessions to choose from:
1. Plasma (Wayland)
2. Plasma (X11)
By default, Wayland is used. When I tried to log in using my username and password, I was unable to, even though my password was 100% correct.
However, when I switched the session from Wayland to X11, I was able to log in successfully.
My questions are:
1. Since this is a fresh install of Debian 12, why are there two desktop sessions (Wayland and X11)?
2. Are they interdependent an can I remove Wayland?
