You can install more software and update your system with the Synaptic program. Check from the ppa web site that it has amd64 and i386 mesa packages available before installation.

Krita is a painting program, qasmixer is a tray mixer, libreoffice for the office use and rosegarden for music creation. zynaddsubfx-dssi and fluidsynth-dssi are great software synths that integrates fine to Rosegarden. Debian is the only distribution that has dssi versions of those synths. Google for Compifont, it does have good sounding samples for the fluidsynth. The zynadd synth has over 1000 presets of cool analog and digital sounds. You can make an installation media in Linux: sudo cp debian-10-amd64-CD-1.iso /dev/sdX. Use the command dmesg to see the letter for X and USB memory stick.

The manual partition does not work, this installer uses whole disk and creates one MBR partition . You can make a live OS by installing to a fast USB stick memory. To run this OS with other graphics cards than from AMD, remove the file: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-freesync.conf

You might need to install more firmware packages, amdgpu and realtek firmware are installed. Some Linux kernel drivers might not be present, leave a message if a driver is not included. Only amdgpu and radeon kernel drivers are for GPU accelerated graphics currently. Do have minimum 4GB RAM, the swap driver is disabled. The distribution has latest Debian kernel too, it has all drivers. Cpu frequency scaling is removed from the kernel, use your Bios to control power saving features. This OS boots very fast and shutdown immediately, so power off your system totally when not used in a long time. Your electric devices will last longer when the main power is disconnected. See information about bad capacitors what can happen if the power unit of a device is always connected.

Check your audio devices with the command aplay -l and set the default audio output device number, example: sudo leafpad /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf defaults.ctl.card 2
defaults.pcm.card 2

Lock the libasound2-data package with Synaptic to prevent changes when updating your system.

2. Games like Assasin's Creed Black Flag need to have the dxvk.conf the in the game executable folder. https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Configuration

Nvidia drivers: Download the nvidia run file package from the nvidia site. Install dkms and build-essential packages. Fix missing dkms links: su cd /lib/modules/$(uname-r) ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) build ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) source Reboot to the Linux rescue mode from Grub. Run the nvidia installer. Choose to use DKMS and install 32-bit libraries and libglvnd in the installer.
