It has a black background so I'll have to find a cool image for it.

The GUI also has the option to change background and there are several backgrounds already to choose from and more to install, so that is pretty easy to accomplish

I don't understand why it changes to artic if it works incorrectly.

The reason:
The decision to switch to arctica-greeter was made along with the switch to Ayatana Indicators. It is briefly explained in the 22.10 Release Notes:

We’ve switched from Slick Greeter 1 to Arctica Greeter 5 (both forks of Unity Greeter)
Arctica Greeter integrates completely with Ayatana Indicators; so there is now a consistent Indicator experience in the greeter and desktop environment.

Arctic does work correctly, it just does not have a working GUI so it is terminal only.
Follow the link below to see how to do that:

Because they switched to a new greeter in 20.10 compatible with Ayatana Indicators and there's no GUI to change those setting yet. Reasons are mentioned in the 20.10 release notes. There's a reason interim releases aren't LTS. They're paving the way for the next LTS, introducing new features, one at a time and things aren't expected to be perfectly polished. You can edit the Arctica Greeter settings with: sudo pluma /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/30_ubuntu-mate.gschema.override Don't screw u…

And not having artic doesn't give me future problems with them.

1. As long as the Login/Displaymanager LightDM is used everything will work, both arctica-greeter and slick-greeter are a kind of plugins for LightDM.
2. Slick-greeter supports more desktops and is cross-distro and actually used a lot so it won't be going anywhere soon
