OK, I didn't know what your HW was. FWIW, I have eliminated "it can't
be" from my
vocabulary. A while back I had a strange video issue. The login screen was
perfectly fine all the time. But when I logged in things went "crazy" after a
time.
Turned out that during their midnight play sessions one of our cats must have jarred
a cable and after hours of trying to figure out what was going wrong a simple re-seat
fixed the issue. Of course, with your configuration (and not cats) it can't be
so.... :-)

I do not know wayland. I do not know how to open plasma under wayland.
Well, it is a selection on the lower left of the sddm login screen. But, I think you
need to have a certain set of packages like qt5-qtwayland and
plasma-workspace-wayland installed. If you don't have those.....

I do not remember. I turned the computer off automatically after
backup. When I leave, I open a terminal, su to root, run dnf update,
run my backup command followed by "; shutdown" so that the computer
turns off automatically.
I tried to launch systemsettings5 from another computer but I get a
buggy window:
$ ssh -X alpha systemsettings5
libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Well.... If I run that command from an F26 VM I don't get that message. If I run it
from a system running F25 I get that message but the systemsettings screen is
"fine". I don't see anything particularly wrong with the display.
