I don't blame you Michael. It's a shame a lot of (major) hardware manufacturers don't send Phoronix hardware samples. I'm much more likely to purchase a device that has been reviewed here than from Tom's or Anand's. Of course, I understand their "linux is less than 2% of the market" rhetoric.
IMO, the Fury X isn't really worth the trouble to review. I would have like to see compute performance, which every review site seems to have forgotten. Otherwise, the blobs for linux aren't ready, and I'm not even sure how many people care about recent or high performance graphic cards under linux.
Michael, where are those instructions on how to install linux on that Intel z3735f stick? Did you have to unlock the BIOS or something? Trying to boot off my UEFI disk on external drive, by pressing enter on the selection, only flashes the screen and asks me to choose the drive to boot from again. Only the windows partitions seem to work.
