Hi Gary!
According to your issues I can only think in an issue with your video
card. What do you have there?
Another thing to try is creating another user.
FWIW no one else has reported an issue like yours yet, or at least not
to my knowledge.
It would have to be a weird issue since the video seems to be working nicely
most of the time.
Since rebooting sometimes makes previous desktops unusable, I was thinking
perhaps a flaw in the ssd was corrupting some files and that it only became
apparent after a reboot, but it passes the SMART tests and there is no other
indication of a problem with it.
If you suspect the ssd you might try debsums. The man says:
Verify installed Debian package files against MD5 checksum lists from
/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.md5sums
I usually run it with the -ca option so I can see any changes I have made in the
/etc config directory also.
-c changed files only
-a all files
If you find errors then reinstall the packages where the files came from with
"apt install --reinstall package". To find the source package use "apt-file
search filename". Also have the ssd do a full selftest ... "smartctrl -t long
/dev/sdx".
