Hello, Sailor.

No team here. Just users like us. Hence "debian-user".

Hopefully someone who knows something about display managers will turn
up and interrogate you.

When the GRUB menu shows up, hit 'e' for edit. Then use the arrow keys
to navigate down to the line that begins with "linux" and probably
ends with something like "ro quiet".

Leave the "ro" alone, but you can delete "quiet" if it's there, and
add

   systemd.unit=multi-user.target

and then hit either Ctrl-x or the F10 key to boot into multi-user
mode, which won't try to start your display manager, but ought to give
you a tty where you can login.

In multi-user mode you can cycle through all the ttys with
Alt-leftarrow or Alt-rightarrow. Or if you have a favorite one then
Alt-F1 through Alt-F6 will take you to tty1 through tty6.

The "Bernard Shaw" is quite appropriate - it is BS.

I have been taught many things, that I have learnt (but, there is so 
much to learn, and, so little time - life is short).

If you are cranking an internal combustion engine, you should not form a 
circle around the crank handle, with your thumb and fingers. If you do, 
and the engine backfires, your thumb (and, if you are using both hands, 
then, both your thumbs) will likely be broken.

That is one lesson worth being taught, rather than learning from experience.

Whether shooting a bow and arrow, or, shooting a rifle, it is unwise to 
shoot vertically upward, lest the projectile punishes you for your 
stupidity.

That is another lesson worth being taught, rather than learning from 
experience.

There are so many more, that are too many to include here.
