I do not see any graphics drivers problems. Everything is installed. AMD graphics install automatically from the kernel.

Additionally, when firmware is needed for graphics (or other hardware), there is a linux-firmware package which often includes the necessary firmware. Once in a while there might be additional firmware needed if the hardware is very new, but your system is Ryzen 3000 series and the very new is Ryzen 5000 series.
Normally, we strongly recommend those with Ryzen 3000 series to upgrade the kernel from the 5.4 LTS to something newer because more functionality for those CPUs is available in newer kernels. Additionally, this would also install newer graphics drivers if they are available for your computer's Vega 8 graphics.
However, it appears you installed a vendor-specific Realtek driver and it may not work with newer kernels. Your Ethernet driver installed from the kernel.

I just checked the
inxi output of someone who installed the 5.13 kernel for their Ryzen 5000 series issue and I see they do not have the vendor driver installed for their RTL8821CE.

You may not have needed to install that driver, but I do not normally troubleshoot wireless issue and can not comment on the possible difference between what the other person installed and what you installed.
If you find out the driver you installed can work with newer kernels, here are instructions for upgrading to the 5.13 kernel:
- Open Update Manager.
- Select View > Linux Kernels and click Continue.
- Make sure 5.13 is selected on the left panel and then click the top-most option on the right panel. An "Install" button will appear.
- Install the kernel and then reboot for it to become active.
