Installed buster alpha 5 (kernel 4.19) on my HP Envy 360x laptop. I chose the most bleeding edge because out of Debian (and ubuntu), this is the only version which recognizes my touchscreen (during the graphical installer). At startup, dmesg shows errors regarding missing firmware for my wifi card (typical, not concerned about this), and x.org does not start. In the console, launching service stop/start gdm3 or env DISPLAY=:0 service start gdm3 insists it is already running. During installation, "Debian desktop environment" was selected, which usually comes with gnome 3.

Xorg core, appropriate drivers, and gnome desktop all seem installed (and configured through dpkg). init, and mounting root at startup seems fine as well.

Temporarely I installed Ubuntu 18.10, in which the touchscreen does not work/is unrecognized, and I pulled the following information:

Ryzen 5 2500U (Vega 8 graphics)

dmesg | grep error:

As well as an error in which the firmware for the wifi card rtl8822be could not be loaded.
