…or two. I forcibly installed snap on my mint os. I also tried to manually remove flatpaks.

Not sure if snap affected this, but when I log in I get some error message saying : unable to launch “cinnamon-session-cinnamon” X session - - - “cinnamon-session-cinnamon” not found; falling back to default session.

Then it goes to a blank screen.

One thing that might have caused confusion is that the login name or whatever it’s technically term is wasn’t the same for the user.

When reinstalling, I noticed my name and login didn’t have to match. I had differentiated the two when I first installed the os. I had no idea doing that would cause such confusion, why display one thing for the login screen but use another thing for the command line?
