Hi all,

Thanks in advance for answers!

Yeah, Debian, the worst linux distro for the desktop ever made. Why use it? There is absolutely ZERO reason to use Debian on a modern desktop system.

I must uninstall Debian from my boxes right away, there is ZERO reason to use it... wait I get it, you're trolling.

Besides this, most packages are up to date, so why not use it. Debian testing is quite good in general.

Hm. Debian still has firmware-amd-graphics 20170823-1. I just copy it manually from kernel.org.
