That page has a section titled "Specify the correct module order". I
don't think I can remember ever reading of the ability to do that so
I'm highlighting in case it helps anyone else. That's nice to know.
When I read you saying removal might snag Desktop Environment,
potential for module competition conflict due to the race to load
everything FAST at bootup came to mind. The ability to specify module
order would help take care of that.
PS I also encountered "libdrm-amdgpu1" via "apt-cache search" while
lurking along here. Am highlighting in case it either helps or needs a
"NO, don't ever try that if you don't have to" review.
Psychedelic sounds fun as a user CHOICE. I was hoping for a
printscreen. That's odd that it printed normal. I'm trying to wrap my
head around the computer's logic of how that would happen.
