Dear maintainers, Intel microcode ---------------
I updated my machine's BIOS, to confirm the TSC_DEADLINE issue. * BIOS update made it clear. * uninstalled intel-microcode; no error log again. Obviously, it is about thee Intel's microcode issue. About nouveau, nvidia-driver, and GeForce 1030 ---------------------------------------------- * uninstall nvidia-driver (re-enable nouveau) made tty resolution back, 1920x0180. * with and without nouveau, GDM, GNOME, and Firefox performance issue remains. My conclusion ------------- * Buster with GeForce 1030 as a primary video does not seems okay, if you want Buster "main" only. * We should update BIOS for Intel microcode updates to make it okay without non-free intel-microcode package. * Also I turned on ALPM since the Stretch clean install, I could not confirm any data loss, etc. This is very nice. I am considering all my box ALPM BIOS setups enabled, after Buster became stable. Honestly, I did not plan to use the box by that configurations. I have a GeForce 1030 card, which is very power efficient. That's why. I think this case is over, so I would close this ASAP. Thanks for reading these reports. Regards.
