How can I change the default display manager in Debian? -- It "does not recognize" the user and in the lightDM Gtk+ configuration there is no way to include it.
Which one do you recommend, and how it will be changed?
"does not recognize"
*I have to type the name every time I open the system.

In /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf un-comment greeter-hide-users and set false if true and a few lines below that set the default user you want selected using user-session
Try to login to console, press CTRL.ALT-F2, meaning press those three buttons at the same time. You should see black background, and login. Login the same as you tried in lightdm, give your username and password.
If you can login, type exit, then CTRL-ALT-F1 or F7, and you should see lightdm again (it can be in F1 or F7), from there reboot, does it work now?
And once you are in your system you can check if you made a mistake with the line you un-commented, I just tested it and it works as expected, at a guess I would say you uncommented the wrong line which caused a syntax error in the file, the line you want to use is in the
and do as you indicated ... now everything is fine, my user name is already ready, the problem is that in their post the user wants to log in without type ... (nothing to do with my case) and therefore indicates uncomment the 'autologin' in his commentary.
