Gene,

You make life difficult for yourself (and, coincidentally, for the rest of us
who try to follow what you've done :) )

You've got an NVME drive that's unused, I think, that you could put onto your
motherboard. Bring your system to the minimum you can - disconnect the other
drives for the meantime. Install Debian to that drive - standard, stable Debian.

Gradually reinstate the other drives and potentially copy data across once
you have a simple stable Debian 12.

The 30 installs you did resulted in a whole stream of annoyed emails: that was
almost entirely because you had a USB serial device. Simplify, simplify,
simplify.

If all else fails, get hold of a secondhand machine that you can use to 
troubleshoot problems like this rather than your main machine.

All best, as ever,

Andy Cater
