   Instead of running "startx startkde" or "startx startgnome", run   
   for kde plasma run "XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session st   
   rtplasma-wayland",   
   for gnome run "XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session gnome-session".   
      
   I too prefer to boot to run level 3 (aka multi-user.target under systemd). Not   
   using a display manager like sddm or gdm means one less thing that can go   
   wrong.
