Thanks!
I did have a black screen but not sure why. I just updated the UEFI firmware on this new laptop so could be a fluke. Well see as i use it more. Itās dual boot Windows 10 and Xfce for now. I have it working really nice now. All keys work for backlighting and hibernation etc.
All is good here, rebooted twice now no issues been almost 2 hours now.

I got it on my desktop and so far so good. On to the laptop! I have the LTS kernel installed as well and the next few days off so I can dedicate some time to troubleshooting if anything goes terribly wrong.
Edit: Thumbs up for the laptop as well.
Just installed the 5.10 kernel on 2 Dell laptops with Intel Wifi. No immediate problem, all is working as usual.
Updated my spare machine last night with no issues. Update to my prod machine broke the F out of my 3 external monitor (+laptop screen) system. Not sure if it was the fact that NVIDIA updated as well, but I think not since when the system came up after reboot I only had laptop monitor. When I went into display settings, one of the 3 externals was there but not activated. That is normal. As one gets activated, another shows up that needs activated. This time, after activating the one that showed up and applying I got a bus error and it wouldnāt activate. Funny because it tried to activate and the next app I opened obviously tried to open to a monitor that I couldnāt see. I needed to go back into display and āenable,ā fail and disable then reboot without touching display settings to at least get a single monitor opening all apps. This is why I keep this system as a Windows dual boot. I have no intention of using the laptop as a single display or even a partially functioning dual display when Windows continues to work properly. I already compromised not being able to shut my laptop lid on any distro except Elementary OS. I will have to start playing tomorrow and possibly wait for another kernel or video driver update. I did see that someone posted an issue with anything more than a 1+1 monitor setup on the new kernel.
Using my desktop Nvidia driver nvidia-390xx-dkms doesnāt build with kernel 5.10. On reboot no graphical display. Just terminal. (Luckily we do have ssh 
)
Need to investigate if there is a solution to get that driver working.
Using my netbbok (Intel GPU and Intel wifi) there seem to be no problems.
Just discovered that there are also network problems on a laptop Iām supposed to install EndeavourOS for a friend of mine. There is no ethernet connection available.
Device : Realtek RTL810XE PCI Fast Ethernet
driver : N/A
Intel graphics and Atheros Wifi working.
So after upgrading my PC just went into overdrive (after around 30 minutes of working just fine). Monitor signal lost and GPU fan powering up to full speed. Let the troubleshooting beginā¦ =)
edit: So, I had amdgpu-fan running to manage my fan speed. According to the journal it keeps crashing after some point. For now I removed it. Does anybody know any alternatives?
Problem solved. Just had to load kernel module r8169 manually.
modprobe r8169
did the trick (root rights needed).
Just in case other users experiencing the same issue.
Everything is running smoothly on my desktop computer. Itās Intel with integrated graphics so very straightforward I guess. 
Linux 5.10.4 running problem free here, so far.

The r8169 driver was blacklisted after installing kernel 5.10. I had to remove the blacklisting in /usr/lib/modprobe.d (file r8168.conf). Now the driver is loaded correctly at startup.

Elsewhere (canāt find it now) we had a discussion related to r8168 vs. r8169 drivers. On some machines r8168 works better, and on others vice versa.
You can also uninstall package r8168 as r8169 seems better.

Thanks for the hint. Iāll leave it set up the way it is. Prior to kernel 5.10 the driver wasnāt blacklisted and worked well, as far as I can judge. If my friend will complain in future (which I doubt, because he exclusively uses Wifi) I still can fix it. I just investigated and fixed the error because itās my attitude to set up a fully functional environment if I decide to do someone a four and install an OS.
