After reboot, Debian GNOME desktop starts up automatically, in tty. When I try to start or stop services with systemctl this message appears. 

System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to bus. Host is down.

I cannot boot my system normally. With startx is appears on a server desktop.

RIP systemd.

Use service instead. type in 

# service --status-all

and see if it is functional. Then do all of your above commands using service syntax and you should be functional.

Once you are running normally, take some time and dig into why systemd is not functioning properly.

Maybe your symlink /sbin/init is broken. To check and fix that please check out this post: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/573609/400822
