Alright this is solved — can someone change update the post title with [SOLVED] plz?
I think I’ll write a separate post about Nvidia/Vulkan drivers.
Basically whatever Debian driver I was using had bad/no Vulkan support.
What I was missing was purging Nvidia drivers first
sudo apt-get remove –purge nvidia-*
Then install the driver, it will hang/crash at some point in the Terminal mode with missing Blacklist warnings (manual restart with the physical button).
Try to install again — it will ask to Blacklist — say yes.
Will have to restart again from Terminal mode (without hang/crash).
Then it will startup with it installed & have your old settings (even though it looked like you had to install it again).

Maybe I am using the Nvidia drivers, but for some reason Vulkan is broken or missing from them?
When I try to install the Nvidia Drivers manually it says to use the Debian Packages & then exits with a timer.
Also when I kill slim the Terminal full screen mode is partially cut off which is annoying (I have to guess what I’m typing & seeing). I though this might be my monitor, but changing the monitor setting has the same cut off text which is really annoying. The preboot looks fine though.
I’m still using 19.4 because it works pretty good & I was just reading how 21 has some bug that makes your CPU & ssd go crazy. So I’m just trying to stick with what works for now.
—————————————–
So it says to use Debian Packages & uninstall the current driver — select ‘continue installation’
Then a 10 sec timer starts to begin installation.
Can’t see options mashed arrow keys, enter + y/n.
Then the timer finishes, but the installer quits with an error message [that looks like because the beginning is cut off]:
received signal SIGTERM; aborting.
