Let's see how this works out at AMD. At least if approached properly, this can prevent a repeat of previous situations where running latest Ubuntu on latest released AMD hardware became impossible because there was not even graceful degradation to a non-accelerated driver. Which means AMD didn't test/report this on the new hardware during Ubuntu beta phase.

Normal people could coordinate fine, traditional and main problem of linux is coordination with corporationsLast edited by dungeon; 15 November 2018, 02:42 AM.

I just gave up and started using Intel GPU - once Intel launches a dedicated GPU with the same driver support and quality they have now, I'll just throw away the AMD card.

Ok, well here's the thing - I've never had such problems with the Intel GPU driver. They do major rewrites as well, add new features as well. I've never experienced the same level of brokenness on an Intel GPU driver.
And it's not just one incident - it happens again and again and again. The main reason I used AMD GPU driver instead of Radeon driver, is because the AND GPU driver was more stable and worked better than the Radeon driver!

He, he, Guest at least you had 4 drivers to rule one card
Meanwhile Windows 10 gained market, so everything is fine now Now we are all ready for diverse trollbeck in harassment free mode non-free diversive bugzillas full
And it's not just one incident - it happens again and again and again.
Remember that we need to live in dark times while Microsoft releasing something And once market is established, we got harassment free happiness
Nowdays they are entering development and break drivers directly, we really couldn't be more happier - harassment free for everybodyLast edited by dungeon; 15 November 2018, 06:49 AM.
