I detest a graphical login and insist on running in multi-user mode (old runlevel 3). To start an X11 session after login, I can use the startx command. But I haven't found an equivalent command to start a Wayland session.
I don't really see the advantage in not starting a desktop session, just to log in, then starting one afterwards. There must be something I'm missing.
I think the general problem is, some desktop managers try to be a Security Manager when they should not be. For example, LightDM provides a guest account that is enabled by default; but not an account in the system (no passwd file entry). Folks can login using it in a kiosk-like mode.
I don't know if that applies here, though.
