For the hardware already known to the kernel, the later will try to load a firmware

either succeeded or failed attempts:

Thanks a lot for describing the above procedure.
I suppose this procedure is very important after every distribution
installation, isn't it?
In my case, I have the following results:

I think all is well, isn't it?
Because the last line worries me a little.

- *sure*: I don't think so
- a bit more risky: the previous link I gave:
https://wiki.debian.org/SystemDowngrade
Instead I doing system downgrade to go back, what do you say to i did
upgrade and go ahead to the Debian version 10 (codename buster) ?
Maybe it makes things worse?
Let's try what Nektarios suggested in a previous e-mail, to I login from
terminal ( Alt + F4 ) and uninstall completely and then reinstall the
GNOME desktop environment ??
P.S.: Anyway it's crazy that I'm typing this message *from this computer
right now*. I'm afraid to shutting down because maybe it doesn't load my
GNOME desktop environment again. *Doesn't this make you look crazy*?
10 times not loading the GNOME environment and and the last one to load
it ?
Thank you for your time.
