Hey all, new to Linux so bear with me here.

I was on plasma wayland and I updated my Nvidia drivers to version 550.163.01 on my 3050 (confirmed after running the 'nvidia-smi' command in konsole) the other day, and I can only boot into the plasma x11 desktop environment. Whenever I try to to log into plasma wayland, the screen will go black for a second and then automatically return me to log in screen.

After running uname -r, my kernel version is 6.12.74+deb13+1-amd64

The system runs okay on x11, but some programs don't work as they should, and the whole system seems a little sluggish. Any ideas to get back into wayland?

Would I have to uninstall and then reinstall the drivers or just run the install command again?

If so how do I remove them?
