The chap building it for openSUSE always meet this or another problem.

I have one that I got not clarified. I run a virtual Win 11 machine, 
while the hardware doesn't have TPM, it is emulated by vmware in 
software. Can virtualbox do that? At the time I looked, the answer was "no".

This can be emulated in software easily enough
<https://packages.debian.org/trixie/swtpm> and accessed from a VM,
e.g. via
<https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/specs/tpm.html#the-qemu-tpm-emulator-device>.

FWIW, I've installed libvirtd and virt-manager, and I've used
virt-manager to set up various virtual hosts, including one
that is running Windows 11 Pro for Workstations.

The qemu underpinnings of virt-manager + friends handle the
TPM emulation without a problem.

Yes. We had problems with an app that was built with the latest, greatest 
Direct-X. It would fail mysteriously on machines with an earlier version.

This was years ago but at one point AMD Athlon machines didn't have the 
extensions Intel had added to their processors and a GUI would fail.

Run the 'glxinfo' command (part of the mesa-utils package on Debian) in
an xterm.  Near the top of the output it will say "direct rendering:
Yes" if hardware accelerated 3D is available.

If not, in all likelihood you just don't have the appropriate drivers
installed for your hardware.  I don't know of any reasonably recent
hardware that doesn't do 3D.  Figuring out which packages to install to
get it can be a challenge, though!

direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4

You forgot to say 'glxinfo | less' :)  I've no idea what the 464 
GLXFBConfigs are telling me.

I assumed all my boxes had hardware acceleration but I don't do rotating 
cubes, shaky windows, and all the stuff that would presumably fail.

Is that an NVIDIA card in there then?

Best to install nvidias own drivers rather than Nouveau...

This rather reminds me of when I first ran Nvidia graphic cards without
the Nvidia drivers...

lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' is a magic spell that tells me

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)

on this machine, and

VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 720]
(rev a1)

On the server that has an Nvidia card.

That will tell you also which driver is associated,

"Subsystem: Palit Microsystems Inc. GK208B [GeForce GT 720]
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia
	Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia"

Nope. That particular box has 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4700U (8) @ 2.00 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series [Integrated]

The others are Intel.  I thought I might have had a Nvidia long ago but it 
was an ATI Radeon 2400 PCIe card. The graphics card died and I remember 
going around town and finding nothing but rather pricey cards. Amazon to 
the rescue with a low end card suited to my uses. 

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-hd-2400.c2087

"Since Radeon HD 2400 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might 
not be able to run all the latest games. "

Yeah, that's my kind of adapter!

Ah. Interesting.

Yes. GLX and not ActiveX was what I was thinking of

e.g. on this
glxinfo | grep -i render

...direct rendering: Yes....

You have to go back a long way to intel onboard graphics that didn't do 
hardware acceleration, or some open source nvidia driver that didn't and 
needed the 'non-free' driver installed instead.

For kicks I started a Plasma x11 session on the Endeavour box. That didn't 
go well. I'm sure it can be configured but there wasn't a logout dialog 
that I could find. I did manage to get a terminal and 'systemctl reboot' 
did the trick.

   Probably true. Most "users" are, well, just USERS.

   However if you're writing daemons and such ... nice
   to have the nuanced options.

   The main thing I like about systemd is being able
   to watchdog daemons and such. Otherwise you have to
   write a separate watchdog for important stuff, and
   maybe then watchdogs for the watchdogs and .....
