    Holy shit, I love seeing team red balls deep into linux. One thing is making your driver open source which is freaking awesome, but a compositor? That’s cool as fuck.

      On the other hand, their software to flash GPU VBIOS is proprietary, requires downloading from some third-party websites, and they are quick to DMCA the shit of anyone hosting it on GitHub. They’re definitely not saints (neither is any capitalist corporation to be fair)

    Let’s fucking go… I’ve only gone with AMD since switching to Linux, and have yet to find a reason to switch.
