   reason for the palather above, as I've explained before, is despite   
   disabling Wayland I was unable to get it to recognise that I had   
   installed an alternative Mate desktop, and I couldn't even get the Pixel   
   desktop to change to the resolution of my 1440p monitor. When I went to   
   look for answer in the logs, and found rsyslog wasn't even installed,   
   and there was only the abhorrent journald, I nuked it from orbit, and   
   upgraded from Bullseye instead.
