KDE desktop environment not loading after login

Hi there,
Relative beginner here. Here's the basic information for my setup. I'm sure thatthere is more I should/could be providing but I'm not sure what's most useful. I'm using KDE as the desktop environment.
--------------
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) x86_64
Host: Vostro 7500
Kernel: 6.1.0-18-amd64
CPU: Intel i7-10750H (12) @ 5.000GHz
GPU: Intel CometLake-H GT2 [UHD Graphics]
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Mobile
---------------

I've probably missed something obvious but the issue I'm facing arose overnight between March 28-29. The login screen loads just fine after booting up the system. So SDDM appears to be working. After login to a Wayland session though, it just reverts back to the login screen. After login into an X11 session, the KDE splash screen will load, the gear will turn for a minute, and then freeze. The DE never actually loads. If I use `startx` from the terminal to attempt it, the same thing happens, but I will eventually get a black screen with a working cursor. Nothing else. As it happens, I can remote into it with chrome remote desktop and get the gui just fine.
At first I thought it was just the nvidia drivers, and sure enough, a search found that everything *nvidia* had been completely removed overnight. It took HOURS of digging and trying things out, but I was finally able to get the drivers installed. Unfortunately the GUI still doesn't load. Any suggestions?
