This is fantastic! I recently installed Debian after not having tried it for years, and was wondering what the best way to get things such as newer versions of Mesa is.

In your article you brought up alternative Kernel options, from what I’ve always been told these kernels don’t really make a massive difference than the regular kernel. Do you have any experience with the ones you mentioned, and if so did either have an actual impact for you?

Additionally, since I’ve only recently started using AMD cards (took me a bit to scrape up the money to move over from Nvidia, but it has been done thankfully) are there any details on what the additional firmware components add on? I have a 6700 XT so I’m not sure if that counts as being new enough to need them (I suspect it doesn’t but figured I’d check).
