Hi Alle, the 4.9 kernel already has amd graphics support, but it needs firmware, others do not have to(perhaps mesa, opengl, opencl). The X window must be on the radeon driver.
If I were upgrading then I would always install a new one and switch off the old(or will be secondary hdd :) (Even if I sacrifice three days) systemctl status bluetooth ?
