I remember the good ol' days... Before AMD owned the Radeon name. I don't think that's helping them much.
Linux drivers for ATI were absolute trash prior to the AMD purchase. At that time Nvidia had substantially better support on Linux, ATI cards were basically useless.
Shortly after the AMD purchase the ATI drivers finally became useful.
I mean isn't that because the community did all the work though? Lol.
This fact alone is why AMD gets my money.
Each time I see a thread about GPUs, I have to remind myself that most users aren't on Linux. Me? I love having the upstream amdgpu drivers!
modprobe fglrx #pleaseIndeed. AMD GPUs work well on Linux, compared to the mess Linux drivers are, functional but with lots of issues and also loss in performance.
