For point of reference the nouveau driver in 4.9 (per Debian 9.3) had a
terrible time on Juno but has become remarkably stable as of 4.15.3 - I
found that Ubuntu Bionic installs beautifully - but I’ve not tried it on my
McBin yet. I never saw any speckling in any case. I believe the runtime PM
is disabled by default or at least that’s what my sysfs lead me to believe.
I did have to tell GDM not to use Wayland. It’s super unstable... and much
slower (which is odd to me since on x86 it is noticeably snappier than
Xorg). But the tippy top GNOME works a treat!
