@ralph.ronnquist
I reproduced same issue on another MSI laptop with Nvidia rtx 3050.
Finally I have correct sequence how to install nvidia-driver on Deadalus for nvidia laptops.
Run:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-persistenced nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree seatdIf you have install errors from apt:
sudo rc-update add nvidia-persistenced
sudo rc-update add seatdReason why I was getting black screen was that runlevel for nvidia-persistenced and seatd was set to 'none'
I was getting errors in lightdm.log

Regarding bumblebee.
If you install it, it breaks configuration for X server. BBswitch switches to intel card after loading nvidia-drm module and system will not load, it gets stuck.
Probably many config files have to be filled but I do not have time to do so so I rolled back. Laptop-mode is enough to use computer.

Thanks, I will dedicate some time to gather more technical details from my laptop.
I have seen threads on Debian forum where people complaining on same thing using sddm + KDE plasma.
Soon I will have to install Debian 12 to a newer 3050 laptop and I will see if it will fail there as well.

@deepforest I might try it some day, but previous experience with Devuan 4.0 showed I might get total freeze on login.
@ralph.ronnquist Thank you, it was exactly what I needed. Now every time I hit logout I get to lightdm login screen immediately within 1 second. Is there any logs I could post here that could indicate others might need this one too?
Overall very smooth Daedalus experience.

Yes, I have added those to sources on first login to a system I tried to play video and I had choppy video playback.
