UPDATE: Resolved, it was an issue caused by a faulty display port cable. Different issues from this cable had happened recently, I just initially assumed it was a software issue due to the fact that only GDM was affected.

    I've recently been unable to use my computer running Fedora 42 with gnome. It boots up, and GDM starts running, however it shows a flat grey screen with no login option. I can pull up a tty and login as normal (although using gnome-session to start a GUI session from there doesn't work). I have tried to use systemctl to restart GDM from the tty, but that l brings me back to square one. What can I do from here to resolve this issue?

    I get that. Personally, as someone who worked on a Mac and had a Windows PC at home, it probably would've been easier to use KDE, since I did need to learn a bit of gnome's ui, but I just found it so much cleaner compared to KDE. Might try heavily customizing KDE again sometime, I just couldn't get the hang of it. At least for now, I can get a nicer desktop for me by using GNOME with minimal extensions than I can with KDE. I don't like the Windows 10 adjacent style, but of course, to each their own. Not to say I find GNOME perfect, the complete lack of usability of custom themes as of gtk3 (Gradience has never actually worked for me) is infuriating, but ultimately I prefer my GNOME setup over what I've tried out in plasma.
