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.
