To be fair this is not the first infamous fascist with a bad hairdo, but this one certainly raised the bar. It looks like a bowl cut, but with different size bowls used...

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

Your i3 is too old. Perhaps your distro's repository has a package called "i3-gaps" which was the former fork that implemented this feature. i3-gaps was merged back into i3 in the meantime.

Since i3 4.22, you can configure window gaps.

Convoluted name and a lot of null bytes? Sounds like a temporary file used during downloading.

Thank you for proving my point.

Oops 😬

I doubt other init systems can make the screen bigger so that the vital part of the kernel log is still on screen, but be my guest to prove me wrong 🙄

None of what's visible helps identifying the error. Try journalctl -xb as suggested it might show more relevant information

Edit: oops should've been joirnalctl instead of journal

For the record, the war is not about that

Oooooh. You used the W-word. 20 years of gulag for you, comrade. 🙃
