Hi, this time I'm using Debian testing. Drivers shouldn't be a problem since I get drastically different results on the same hardware/software combination, the only difference being different BIOS chip plugged in(F2-A85m allows to swap them easily). One chip has proprietary BIOS, second one Coreboot.
