From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I only have the options "GNOME" and "GNOME Classic".
tey the one that you aren't using
Tried both already. The issue already shows up on the login screen, so I don't think it's gnome
your system feels like to me its borked on so many ways
So many content? You mean so many levels? While searching for the current download link for Debian 12, I really just couldn't find the right one I think, so I just went for one which had amd64 and gnome in the title. It was for a CDROM, but I flashed that onto some USB.
I meant so many ways idk how that got corrected to that, fuck
First of all: Did you do apt dist-upgrade as well? If I remember correctly that is a new required step when upgrading to a new Debian release.
If that doesn't help, you could check if your nvidia-detect package version is the expected version, that comes with Debian 12.
If neither of these steps help you could disregard nvidia-detect and try the steps listed in the following link. It seems the firmware was moved to a separate repository compared to Debian 11. You might need to add that by hand. https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#bookworm-525
Thank you very much for your answer. I was not aware of the dist-upgrade being required now, so I did that, but unfortunately it did not change anything after a reboot. I reinstalled nvidia-detect to see if that caused any issues, but that did not seem to be the case. Your last step I actually already did some time ago, and I tried to do the same no. Unfortunately that also did not seem to have fixed the problem. The nvidia graphics settings software is still installed, but it only shows some very limited control options compared to how it used to be. This is what that program looks like now:
So this really seems to be more of an nvidia issue, rather than a gnome one.
Backup your data. Download the correct Debian and burn to usb. Do a fresh install. Make sure to format the disk first.
Unless you're dual booting in which case only format the Linux partition
