The one time i borked the graphics wss the arch firmware thing.
1 weekend away arrived back late sunday to show my daughter her new graphics tab did an update rebooted like aclown and voilla no display.
After that i got rid of arch (endeavour) then in stalled arch (cachy) and life has been good.

I ran mint (non debian) on older hardware for years and loved it mostly.
Upgraded everything in march and realised i needed newer kernel newer mesa. I could of installed from certain ppa's but hey 12-13 years on one distro i fancied a change.
Kde took some learning (does one need all those settings) but hey functional hardware is the goal and the goal was met. Like graphics tablet i had to mess with modprobe and .sh files just works magnificently.
I can't compare performance as 8 thread to 24 thread i do not see a fair comparison.
