Hello Albert,

I am running Debian GNU/Linux 11.6 (bullseye) on ThinkPad P1 Gen 3 with 
GNOME 3.38.5 and Wayland without any problems.
But I have enabled the `contrib non-free` repositories of course ( cat 
/etc/apt/sources.list ).

You can try to login using only the TTY - no graphical interface -.
When your system is up and you see just the black screen, try to press : 
ctrl-alt-F1 or ctrl-alt-F2  and login with your user.
After that enable the `contrib non-free` repositories and update your 
system. Reboot and check again.
