I don't know much about Linux and I'm unsure if this is possible. I don't want to risk my system.

[EDIT]

I want to keep the default login screen, but use the KDE desktop environment. I have seen from other posts that you need a different window manager to use KDE, which also changes the login screen.

  • After following this advice, I found that I now cannot login via the default desktop, only through Wayland and KDE isn't even listed. I ran sudo apt remove kubuntu-desktop and sudo apt autoremove. How do I fix it?

  • You have to try reinstallation of GDM3 with sudo apt-get install gdm3 --reinstall.

  • It still won't work - after I press sign in, it just takes me back to the user selector.
