Does my computer power on and POST? Yes.
Do the kernel and systemd complete their start up routines? Yes.
Can I open a desktop session? No.
I understand that some people consider anything that's not technically
precise "FUD," and I want to avoid a semantic argument over what
constitutes "bootable." The fact that I could not, after turning onto
my computer get:
1) To a point where I could do anything useful on my computer,
2) An error message pointing me to the source of the problem
... is my point. Yes, I could have installed alternative operating
DEs, rolled my own packaging, used various workarounds.
What I did was switch to Windows for the 3 day interval so I could
work whilst Debian sorted itself out. That worked for me. Other things
worked for other people. I'm cool with that.
