Thank you.

Since then I have one weirdness to add to the mix, but if this is closed 
I probably can't post it here — should I open a new report?

Doing the install of Mint 20.1 and then immediately installing Emacs is 
DIFFERENT on

HP Envy 7t laptop (where the Emacs works)
DELL XPS 15 (where the Emacs fails)

Obviously there are going to be HW diffs meaning a different subset of 
OS packages, but I have logged on both machines the initial apt update 
followed by apt install emacs if anyone wants to see them.
