Hello thank you very much for your help; how can i check if i have those Vulkan and VCE enabled and libre driver installed?

The system is a Ascii with LXDE+KDE (sort of Hybrid atm).

well, i just wanted to use AMD VCE for video encoding in HandBrake and it does require the AMDGPU-PRO driver.
i have seen that the opensource has good benchmark but some features seem only available with the amd drivers, hence my timid try to install them.

thanks rolfie, i tried also with bpo.6, it did not make a difference (for now). maybe i just it wrong.

it seems i found the answer here

correct solution for me was answer by

Many thanks,

to install debian on my macmini 2006 i  used "refit" tool first, and then after installation of the linux distro via cd used the included partition tool to update the partition table.
afterwards some linux distro would sometimes not boot with refit, so i installed refind over it (and choosing no to remove refit partition tool ) and then upon reboot would boot linux grub from within refind.

debian SQUEEZE not STRETCH was the best option at that time, alongside with debian wheezy and lubuntu.
ubuntu cd for some strange reason very often didn't get picked up by the apple machine for some reason or did not allow to boot.

tried today the Ascii with KDE, and on top of it i did install TDE 14 (never tried Trinity Desktop before) and i was very pleasantly surprised.
Some things did not function though (printing for example) so i went back to Ascii XFCE, which has been most stable and rapid.

Well, not so much, but for some reason i was not able to switch from LXDE to KDE as Login Manager (with KWin); effectively,
the StartLogin, the Menu was managed by LXQT and the Windows-Display-Manager and FileManager was with KDE (which i very much like, especially the older more responive kde4) -

- so i try to change to KDE altogether, and in the process i ended up performing a new install with Devuan Ascii XFCE.

I really like the responsiveness of XFCE, but for the rest i prefer KDE.

still not sure how to go on with the Desktop Environment; it would be nice to able to switch easier "on the fly" , but this time i was just not persevering enough.
KDE + LXQT is certainly a interesting match (actually i thought that i get a full KDE and a full LXQT, but somehow it got mingled together).

thanks, this helped me too, on XFCE4. just upgraded from ascii to beowulf. nice!

for netflix it seems only google chrome is working atm on linux devuan ascii ... streaming right now thru it. chromium and firefox don't seem to function; pipelight is no more, that used to function for firefox.
