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.
