I do, i use Debian only on industrial retrofits that do only machine work and nothing else.my1987toyota wrote: hey tommylight do you recommend Mint19.3 over Debian for general experimentation.
For everything else i use mint. For older PC/Laptops use the XFCE version of Mint, it is a bit lighter on resources.

Do you recommend sticking with 19.3 or is it better to install the 20 ?

It probably doesn't help that this is a 2008 lap top with AMD and Nvidia graphics . as an aside the same thing happens when I tried the Debian wheezy install disk.
To me this looks like a graphics driver error, however I don't know what the regular mode runs that the safe mode does not.
at least I can get linuxcnc 2.8 loaded

Are you aware, that nvidia-x-server does not work with realtime kernels?There might be hope, if you blacklist nouveau. would be interesting to see pre and post blacklis latency effects.
If you want to use realtime kernels, you need to use nouveau x-server.
