Please be considerate of us oldies who struggle with the technology. I successfully booted from the CD and reinstalled Debian. The purpose for doing this was that I was having pixel glitches on the monitor and some freezes. Thinking anything I've done that might be causing that will be eradicated with a fresh install. Well the pixel glitches are still there so I'm assuming the graphics card is defective and I should get another one. Interestingly the Krita documentation says that they aren't putting any time into using the graphics card memory as they think graphics cards will the defunct in the future. I wondered if there is some way to examine graphics card memory and mark as bad or something.
well the story so far is that I installed with the expert type selections and the apt suggested installing firmware-amd-graphics and everything was crashing with anything to do with a browser. So now I install with the graphical install and everything seems stable as I can type this and it hasn't crashed, there are no pixel glitches as yet so I'm thinking is a graphical driver issue. I would like to sort this working on the bigger display as I've got things to do and would like a stable base.
I'm just grateful anything works but perfection would be nice.
