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. I have 8.5
left to do at about 25 minutes per on 500G rotating rust:

It has 3 Debians, 3 Ubuntus, and no MX. 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.
