No live images and for example today adg5f 4.11-wip kernel received 20 or so
patches. To test with Debian testing Xfce create a 15GB test partition with the
Gparted livecd.

Burn Debian netinstaller to a cdrw or usb memory:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/stretch_di_alpha7/amd64/iso-cd/
Choose Debian Desktop and Xfce in the installer. Use the Whisker menu plugin
along with the Weather plugin and remove the original applications menu. You
can configure Xfce freely, so make it suitable for your liking.

Install Amd firmware:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/firmware-amd-graphics
With Synaptic install Gdebi. With Gdebi you can install downloaded .deb
packages easily. Give the root password when asked.

Latest mesa:
Oibaf PPA:

PPAs with Debian, use case B:

Latest Amd driver
Use the command: git clone -b drm-next-4.11-wip
git://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux

The kernel configuration file of Debian Official kernel are available in /boot,
named after the kernel release. Copy the .config file to the linux directory.
Connect all your devices and run the command: make localmodconfig. You can use
the command make defconfig too for creating initial .config file. 

Use the command: make xconfig and check that you have enabled: Reroute Broken
IRQ, Virtualization KVM and 300Hz CPU timer, I also disabled Swap, Kernel
Debug, CPU Freq scaling , Cpu handling in Acpi, Used Bios to control CPU and
devices. In the drivers->graphics->amdgpu enable cik support for a gcn 1.1 gpu
and si support for a gcn 1.0 gpu.

With Synaptic, install kernel-package and fakeroot packages. 
Create debian kernel package:
export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image

Install the kernel package with Gdebi. To make a custom kernel to boot, add a
line to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:
unix
And run: sudo update-initramfs
Reboot.
