Is it worth using Synaptic and the fix broken option?
I know there are still issues with NVIDIA cards and Wayland, so much so 
with my system I had to nuke it and do a reinstall from a usb key, after 
removing the .cache and .config files from my ~/ directory.
Also with the terminal is it worth copying the bashrc files over from 
the unbroken system?
