What version of the gnu-linux.libre you use?
I usually stick with an LTS kernel that matches the one that was in the distro, or is the next one above it in case where the distro kernels don't match with the upstream LTS versions. For Trisquel 9 that was Linux-libre 4.19. For Trisquel 10 that's Linux-libre 5.4.
