Research direction
Start by comparing the system before and after the December 13 update, focusing on the NVIDIA GTX 1060 using the nouveau driver, X.Org/Xwayland, and the Budgie session after login. Reproduce the black screen and verify that the desktop loads normally after reverting the update; the issue names no files or tests.
