Oh, dear!Then I followed this this tutorial and ended up having the computer freeze right after entering user password at login (clean install first boot),
So either I am doing something horribly wrong or "backports" does not work with this machine. Very much lost now.
Random person on the internet is doing something horribly wrong, I'm afraid. The Debian pages do warn against this.
Backports cannot be tested as extensively as Debian stable, and backports are provided on an as-is basis, with risk of incompatibilities with other components in Debian stable. Use with care!
It is therefore recommended to only select single backported packages that fit your needs, and not use all available backports.
I think you may to reinstall if you followed the advice in this video,Backports cannot be tested as extensively as Debian stable, and are thus supported on a best-effort basis; there is a risk of incompatibilities with other components in Debian stable, so backports should be used with care! That said, Debian Backports Policy does not allow backports of libraries that would break all dependent packages in stable (eg: new Qt 5.x releases), and by virtue of this, Debian Backports are considered generally safe when used as intended on an individual package basis.
The coinstallability of all available backports is not tested, and it is strongly recommended to opt-into the use of specific backported packages on an as-needed basis.
