After two days of using Debian Bookworm [stable] with Cinnamon, and actually being relatively satisfied (less satisfied than I was with Ubuntu, but also less *irritated* by Random Ubuntu Bugs), I decided to upgrade to trixie [testing] as a stop before trying Pop!_OS. I followed:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting#How_to_upgrade_to_Debian_.28next-stable.29_Testing
See:

After rebooting, my laptop simply blinks an underscore symbol in the upper left corner. Forever. No error message.
I *can* get to a vterm. But no gdm3/X
