And that's why there's a "-2" on the end of that arch vm - there was one before that I borked while trying to update it because I hadn't used it in so long.

It's a terabyte SSD. I've currently got 136 GB left on it. I think part of it might be they're auto-expanding qcow2 images, so they don't actually take up the full space provisioned for them.
10, plain 11, 7, and funny enough, Server 2022 are all legit licenses (I can get a key for server through my university). Actually, I'm pretty sure the 11 one, I upgraded a Windows 7 VM to 10, then to 11.
Every other Windows version that needs it (11 LTSC, 8.1, and Vista), I just temporarily host a phony KMS server whenever it needs to be reactivated.
I apologize for talking so much about Windows on a Linux sub. May Stallman break into my house and give me 10 lashes as I slumber.
Insert vaguely relevant Xkcd:
On merchandising, I'm also annoyed how low quality the printing of official Tees us, especially considering that some of them are actually fun designs.
Honestly, it's tempting just to buy fanart tees instead - there's an awesome one of Shaxs doing his usual pottery with his iconic "Fighting Fascism is a Full Time Job" as the caption on TeePublic. I kind of want to message the person and ask if they could sell a sticker as well.
That's some Earl grey hot news.
Does the BIOS have a way to factory reset itself?
Could it be a Secure Boot issue? From what I can tell, this is roughly a late Windows 8.1 era machine, and I think Microsoft already required OEMs to have Secure Boot around this time; I have a 6th gen Intel laptop (don't know about 5th gen, which I think this laptop has) with TPM 1.2. Lots of laptops are big jerks about this, and sometimes you have to disable it at least until you allow non-Microsoft Keys.
Also, can you change the title of your post? I feel like it doesn't convey what you're actually asking and sort of scares people away from wanting to respond to you. Maybe something more like "Tablet Boots to Black Screen After Attempted Debian Install?"
I'm guessing that the 7 or 8.1/10 thing is probably to select between legacy BIOS CSM or UEFI. What is it set to right now? Maybe try playing with that.
On a random note: Another person who is both a fellow Debian user AND even knows The Prisoner exists? How interesting.
Anyhow, be seeing you. 👁️👌
I may have misconveyed my meaning. I wasn't necessarily arguing that systemd has no viable alternatives. I meant to say that where systemd doesn't work (embedded systems being a good example), chances are the lack of support won't be a burden for a reasonably skilled user.
I found a prebuilt OpenCore for KVM. https://github.com/thenickdude/KVM-Opencore
I then changed the config.plist to make it think it was a 2019 Mac Pro.
