Some of the glitches you observe most likely come from not having th microcode patches
installed. Hardware nowadays is not what it used to be :) You'd need for your
ideapad:
amd64-microcode
firmware-amd-graphics
firmware-iwlwifi (most likely)
Otherwise you should be good to go. If you want to get long battery runtimes then you can
use this small program:
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--
#!/bin/bash
#chown nik /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_max_freq
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/scaling_max_freq
elif [ "slow" = "$1" ]; then
for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*; do
echo $(( $(cat $i/cpuinfo_min_freq) * 3)) > $i/scaling_max_freq
done
elif [ "fast" = "$1" ]; then
for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*; do
cat $i/cpuinfo_max_freq > $i/scaling_max_freq
done
else
echo "$(basename ""$0"") : print current
freqency"
echo "$(basename ""$0"") [slow|fast] : set freqency"
fi
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<--
Note, you need to call it with a delay of ~ 10 secs from TDE autostart - otherwise the
powermanager will backstab you :)

Oh, I forgot:
You'd need "non-free-firmware" "and "non-free" repositories
and you have to
instll amd64-firmware.

Hmmm. So far I have managed to avoid using anything non-free, and would like
to keep it that way. I have no problems getting online, despite occasional
warnings about missing firmware.
Do you believe that this missing firmware is the cause of these weird
glitches? I mean, I have *never* used non-free firmware in any Devuan
installation. Only my very first Debian installation, back in the days of
Jessie, used non-free, and only because I wasn't yet familiar with a Debian
system, and wanted to try to get past the lower hurdles.
This is not the case now. I can generally keep my machine running and stable
without using non-free firmware. But of course, these weird glitches that
have started creeping in, in the past few months, could be a sign of things
to come.
