While I'm all in favour of debugging new releases, I wonder why
first-timers go for 12.0

Lets face it, any .0 release has watershed problems, and 12.0 has
crossed a lot of watersheds, systemd being the most notorious.

In Billie's position I'd try permutations, after all its easy enough to
download and burn

* 12.0 32-bit
* 11.4 64-bit
* 11.4 32-bit


Billie, the major difference I hear you talking about is the KVM.
Perhaps you need to experiment with a machine not on the KVM or take
this machine off the KVM.

I too use a KVM, but its not a software-switch one.  My 'playground' is
the floor, dedicated keyboard, mouse and screen, dustbinnies as my audience.
