Hello all,
Just decided to let my Debian 10 update, which it did. Next reboot I got
greeted by xfce's login screen (I had installed Debian with xfce), managed to
find my way back into TDE running the usuall dpkg-reconfigure lightdm.
However I was wondering: if I remove lightdm, what will happen next update?

if you have tdm-trinity installed, then that should come up. But it might be that the
gnomes have pulled another thread ...

Looks like last installed is last configured. If you remove it it should
stay with TDM. It is basically changing links in the background that point
to the one that is assumed as default or selected AFAIR.

A dist upgrade may reinstall it at some point if you have the space just
leave it installed and use the dpkg-reconfigure lightdm thing you have been
doing.

I had something similar with CentOS6 6-8 years back. [Auto login pass
through?*] was seeming randomly flipping back to Gnome. I finally tracked
it down to I had not specifically set a default desktop to use in that first
select a user/desktop screen. Like you, when it happened, it only happened
after an update.
* Got no clue what that’s really called.
Worth a shot checking, but as others have said, might just be Debian/Gnome
deciding what’s “best for you.”
Best,
Michael
