@Corb_The_Lesser That's what I'm thinking. Somewhere, something really went wrong, but I can't place it. I haven't installed anything new for a while now.
That said, yes, I was able to get it to switch into Cinnamon at the login screen. Nonetheless, I'm curious where things went wrong because I'd hate for it to cause issues down the road and be even more difficult to troubleshoot.
UPDATE: Got it sorted thanks to help from a Linux group on #MeWe. Turns out, you can select your DE from the login screen. Seems to be working just fine now that I switched it back over to Cinnamon.
A learning experience, to be sure 😂
Booted up my one laptop running #Linux Mint after about a week of not touching it... to my surprise, it booted into GNOME when I have Cinnamon installed. No reason, just randomly did it.
Not only this, but the installation of GNOME appears to be borked, with light-and-dark options doing absolutely nothing, certain theme options from the Cinnamon installation are still present but completely unchangeable, my wallpapers (including the login screen one) were all reset, tap-to-click being disabled and so forth.
I haven't installed anything new, I haven't done anything unusual in system settings, it just decided it wanted to casually boot into an entirely different desktop environment.
I tried searching for anyone else having this issue but couldn't find anything. It looks like I might just have to spin up Timeshift and run it back a bit to see if that fixes the issue.
Bizarre. Absolutely bizarre. 🤷♂️
