From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Radeon 79XX drivers are integrated into the 6.X kernel. Kernels lower than that won't really work. I don't have a MX install any more, but I'd guess that's the reason. You might try looking for the upgraded kernel. The nvidia drivers shouldn't have anything to do with it.
Ahhhh fuck that's it right there. MX's normal distribution is Debian stable and baked onto the 5.10 kernel. I have to install MX's AHS release for the 6.x kernel. I didn't even think about that.
MX is fairly integrated and I'm not sure I could upgrade the kernel in place without destroying the install, assuming I even knew how to replace such a thing.
I'm too used to having all my old hardware lol. Thank you so much!
If you plan on reinstall then try to separate the home and root partition.. it'll make future reinstalls simpler
Just to clarify for anyone reading this good advice; you want to separate the root and home partition. That allows for reinstalling the OS in your root partition without losing data in your home partition.
