I didn't think I kept a record of what I did when I bought a
lappy with AMD graphics a couple or three months ago. Though
not complete, I did keep some information.
I stayed away from CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 because net searching found a few
who suggested Debian was not ready for that. But I think the AMD
graphics on the new machine was just as problematical to get working,
and wish I had gone with CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 now.
But I am not having any problems running "Testing" Bullseye on the
machine.
Here is what I had to do, and maybe a bit more I didn't write down, it
might help?
Installed the following:
# apt install firmware-linux
# apt install firmware-linux-nonfree
# apt install libdrm-amdgpu1
# apt install xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
llvm for mesa also installed, even though at the time a bug was
recorded against it.
Hope it helps,
Charlie

you're no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn't just a
means to an end but a unique event in itself. .....Robert Pirsig
