Why? I have a bunch of machines of that ilk (LGA775), all using various distros' current releases, most plus Trixie. Each has at least one distro using TDE. Only one has any problem, due to its particular NVidia GPU and recent kernels: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/issues/385
Well, your hardware is not my hardware, it seems.
Here:
- Debian 9 installs, TDE does not
- Debian 11 installs, but you only get a command line, there are install
errors (seems related to network) that I am not interrested to solve on this machine.
- Debian 10 intalls AND TDE installs.
I has tried MX but the system was very slow, with a lot of harddisk activity.
I doubt materially different from at least one of them, if not all. Oldest Core2duo is a 4400. Newest are 3 8400s, each running a different GPU. A few still have Buster or Buster and Stretch or even Wheezy. The one I have currently booted I am upgrading from 128 byte inodes to 256 bytes on every EXTx filesystem, so that if I live until 2038 I won't have the date/clock problem then arising.

All 6 have only TDE and IceWM installed for running Xorg. All are upgrades, were originally older versions going back as far as Debian 6 or Ubuntu 10.04. So, the only significant likely difference between at least one of mine and yours is none of mine are fresh installations.
