   Thank you again, for your reply g00r00! So, FINALLY after a little pulling out   
   of hair, I managed to figure out what is going on.   
      
   After a new install on the same Pi started out working, and then failed after   
   I started migrating my menus to the new board; it struck me.   
      
   In my prelogin menu I have a simple python2 script running. And it was the   
   mixture of Python2 and 3 that was breaking things for me. After fixing a text   
   file my script was importing (had some sort of broken UTF-8 enconding in it) I   
   was able to run this script as Python3 and then continue to use Python 3.   
      
   TL;DR: Mixing Python2 and Python3 in Mystic (RPi OS Bullseye) can break   
   things. Lesson learned, now I can finally move on with Python3 and Mystic.
