Hello. Try this: apt purge "*nvidia*" And then reboot the system with: systemctl reboot This should leave you with a functioning system in almost all cases. If it seems to still be having issues, you may also try running: apt install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-nouveau...

Just check Debian wiki. Everything is very clearly explained and written there. It couldn't be easier.

... some tutorials

You should always use the official documentation (I mean the Debian wiki).

Hello. It looks like you have configured lightdm incorrectly By default, LightDM is configured so that the user should enter both their login name and password. The login name is considered sensitive information. It is possible to provide the user with a selection of available user accounts. The mos...

Fvwm-Crystal with Amiga style.
The menu doesn't work because the menu depends on Python2 and Debian 12 doesn't have it.

And how does the system works with the open source video driver?

No need to be in such a hurry. Even more KDE6 is buggy...

Hello.
You must install linux-headers

Hello.

Please, check this

But for most cases, including yours, simply removing non-free-firmware from the sources.list should be adequate. This simple method won't work because a standard (non-expert) install will still install the non-free-firmware. I.e. the average user who installed Debian 12 in the standard way will alr...

Hello.

sudo apt remove --purge snapd created a warning at the end

You can ignore this message. It is harmless.

Snap is a EVIL.... First, make sure that you don’t have any snap packages installed. snap list If there are any, remove those snap packages first. sudo snap remove package1 package2 package3 then sudo apt remove --purge snapd This step removes all the snaps installed. You can verify this by using sn...

Minimal KDE, Fvwm3 and enlightenment.

Should i do that as the next step? You can remove all packages on your system with nvidia in the name by running: apt purge "*nvidia*" And then reboot the system with: systemctl reboot If it seems to still be having issues, you may also try running: apt install --reinstall xserver-xorg-co...

Hello. If you want to uninstall GNOME and its dependencies first, do (as root): apt purge `dpkg --get-selections | grep gnome | cut -f 1` apt -f install apt purge `dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall | cut -f 1` apt -f install To install MATE with core packages, do the following (as root): apt in...

This makes it sound like the problem was known before the point release was unleashed. Where was the warning about not stepping up to the point release if you used Nvidia drivers posted? I'd like to subscribe to that. I think you are right because, I quote This issue could not be resolved in time f...

Your GTX540 is simply too old for the new 525.147.05 drivers What you wrote has long been known to me. My video card is gtx650. And previously I used a closed source driver (nvidia-tesla-470-driver). I didn't feel any difference when using this driver compared to the open source driver. So I decide...

No, it is not. On my Gtx650 opensource driver works better than proprietary driver. No lockups, no crashes...
