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 😅
But rather crazy that one “recommend” command from debian would do this? I’m still q bit new to the Desktop world of Linux.

For when I downloaded Debian? I just went to their homepage and got the latest bookworm.
Live disk? or CD iso?
ISO and then format over to usb with Etcher 👍
What Desktop Enviroment did you install?
Try: sudo apt install tasksel && sudo tasksel
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?
linux distros assume that the your know what they are doing, so it show what it gonna do, and do it if the user say yes, even if it removing the entire system, because some users do that(removing and installing other system) so always be careful, especially with sudo commands, that why they ask for password, terminal is a powerfull tool, that why you can’t runs these commands from GUI
