With gdm and lightdm both are triggered by sudo -H systemctl enable gdm
or sudo -H systemctl enable lightdm. When these break though that
talkingarch install disk is real useful as a rescue disk to run
systemctl disable commands on those display managers. I found gdm
better able to work with orca but the desktop interface is different
from mate and none too easy to bring up a list of apps.
