pulseaudio is buggy as hell on the current stable version of Debian. I

searched for a solution to fix it, then I realized all trouble goes away (and
with absolutely no downsides) when you apply a "apt purge pulseaudio).

to dig which package might be the culprit of the slowdown.

Which kernel are you using there? Your machine is pretty new and you should
install the latest libre kernel packaged by jxself and try and see if it
solves it ->

It makes it so the cipher algorithm to be used is AES256.

I assume you have an ATI GPU. Yes, it will work. The libre kernel has a patch
that fixes the resolution. Debian's kernel is deblobbed but it doesn't
contain this patch. So, yes, install the libre kernel jxself packages.

Ublock origin is gold. In "advanced user mode" it is doublegold, triplegold -
it can block just about anything, it is so much more than an add blocker,
just like noscript is so much more than a javscript blocker. Te combo of

Updating the libre kernel will give you the correct resolution. It won't give
you the proprietary firmware **required** by ATI for video acceleration, so
your GPU will basically stay a superhot and extremely slow furnace.
Take a look at the h-node website in the future when you buy.
