Put something resembling closure on the record
I know things could have been worse, but it still feels like a Bad
Ending.

+* The unsatisfying ending?
+On March 16 2025, installed Debian (then Bookworm) on the NVMe disk
+(KDE Plasma, Wayland, kernel 6.1).
+
+Installed Steam; installed Hades Ⅱ; game ran great; played like no
+tomorrow. Hissed at Trixie, stubbornly kept playing on Bookworm. All
+the while, kept daily-driving the Tumbleweed installation on the SATA
+disk; just rebooting into my "BookwormCube" for Hades Ⅱ sessions.
+
+In September–October, caught & handled =SIGSKONG= on Tumbleweed; from
+October 25 through November, rebooted into the BookwormCube® to play
+Hades Ⅱ's endgame & chase cheevos.
+
+Bottomline: ending meh, comparatively with Hades Ⅰ? Game still rules.
+
+Tech-wise, for all my efforts debugging this stutter, I learned
+nothing, beside a truckload of ineffective system knobs. Last checked
+Tumbleweed's performance [[https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/11300#note_3003120][in August]] (kernel 6.15.6;
+kernel-firmware-amdgpu 20250708; Mesa 25.1.5 & 25.3.0-devel with
+=nogttspill=); no improvements.

farce. Condensed summary of the whole affair:
