I know Drew reads thread here (and I already sent him emails in the past) but... I've had similar issues over the years and typically these can be solved using several tricks: for example not using NVidia GPUs (and hence not using proprietary drivers). Or configuring the system once to boot into text mode, then running "startx" from text mode. Or booting into graphical mode, but then using a shortcut to switch to console mode, then back to graphical mode. Similar shenanigans may happen too with the various types of sleep/powersaving modes. But I think they're all solvable or, at least, there are always workaround (not that Drew's "boot twice" workaround is that bad seen how fast Linux boots nowadays).
