The issue isn't fixed because OP still can't install the 6.10 Liquorix kernel from the MX repo.
They are able to boot to the desktop with the 6.1 kernel (from the repo) with the amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff boot option removed.
They are using that variable to undervolt their GPU with corectrl.
This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my Fluxbox is useless. Without my Fluxbox, I am useless.

I should wait for the new topic, but it's for the same reason you are playing with fire if adding upstream Debian packages to MX stable: they are very probably not going to be built against the same system libraries as your stable Debian release. They may seem to work fine, but could also then also have subtle bugs later that will be very difficult to root out.
MXPI = MX Package Installer
QSI = Quick System Info from menu
The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing

At this point, I would just re-install. With so many various repos installed, it's hard to distinguish which one is causing problems.

The good news is you have got a separate home partition, so no need to back up config files.

Code: Select all

Partition:
  ID-1: / raw-size: 307.32 GiB size: 301.43 GiB (98.08%) used: 33.21 GiB (11.0%) fs: ext4
    dev: /dev/sdb2 maj-min: 8:18
  ID-2: /boot/efi raw-size: 256 MiB size: 252 MiB (98.46%) used: 274 KiB (0.1%) fs: vfat
    dev: /dev/sdb1 maj-min: 8:17
  ID-3: /home raw-size: 623.94 GiB size: 613.08 GiB (98.26%) used: 393.55 GiB (64.2%) fs: ext4
    dev: /dev/sdb3 maj-min: 8:19

I would download a new copy of MX-23 and this time grab the ahs version (third link). https://mxlinux.org/download-links/
