Hello, I have upgrade to Stretch, and my system is loading the graphical interface (Gnome). However, I believe my graphics are sluggish, video playback at some points starts freezing and sometimes just becomes unwatchable (it starts using up a lot of CPU power). In the recommendations here (https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Intel/NUC5PPYH) it says to install non-free firmware, the Debian installer asked for firmware-realtek, I provided it and I believe that I installed. But what non-free firmware could possible correct my graphics problems? what am I missing. I am happy my system is working, but graphics work better in Windows, and that is morally inacceptable to me. thanks a lot,
