After a system crash whenever I boot into Zorin I get this weird Ubuntu login menu instead of the Zorin one I had previously. Here is a photo of it that I took with my phone:
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a way to fix it? Cheers!
Did you install any Ubuntu packages? I suspect that is the only way that you are getting that particular login screen.
Or have run the "Newer version is available" prompt...
Seems like you accidental "upgraded" your system to the latest Ubuntu and wiped Zorin OS.

I don't remember installing any new packages recently and looking at the syslog I don't see anything about packages. Is there really no other explanation for this?
Okay, so I found out what happened. I was messing around with the terminal out of curiosity and I had switched my display manager from GDM (the default GNOME login screen) to XDM (the login screen on the photo). I was really curious what that would do, but later when I logged on the next day I completely forgot that I changed the display manager. I was so confused so I came here to ask for help lol. As for why it is Ubuntu, it seems Zorin OS does not have a custom XDM screen, and because Zorin is based on Ubuntu it just shows the Ubuntu one. Sorry everyone for wasting your time. Hope you have a good day : )

I don't think it's in the main installation and I'm pretty sure it's not used for Budgie. I unfortunately don't remember why I installed it : (
To explore alternatives in the way that you can on Linux.
