Berliner Weiße with raspberry syrup tastes much better than woodruff syrup.

But raspberry syrup isn't green :P

What a shame to spoil the good beer.
Maybe you meant "Blutwurst" in English "blood sausage". We have some really delicious stuff here in Germany .

Yet, blutwurst. This was in Berlin.

Michael, sorry for the dumb question: is there a difference between amdgpu and modesetting?

Running system-info shows modesetting 1.18.4 as my Display Driver, and no matter what I do, it doesn't say amdgpu 1.2.99 even though I'm fairly sure it's loading amdgpu by viewing the Xorg log.

 GRAPHICS: MSI AMD Radeon RX 470/480 8192MB
OpenGL: 4.5 Mesa 17.1.0-devel- padoka PPA Gallium 0.4 (LLVM 5.0.0)
Vulkan: 1.0.42
OpenCL: OpenCL 1.1 Mesa 17.1.0-devel- padoka PPA + OpenCL 2.0 AMD-APP (2264.10)
Display Driver: modesetting 1.18.4
Monitor: XG2401
Screen: 1920x1080

Thanks in advance.

Not a dumb question. Couple of comments:

1. X seems to load a half-dozen different drivers before it decides which one to use. Keep scrolling down past the "loading driver XYZ" messages and eventually you should see most of the messages coming from a single driver, which in your case will be modesetting.

2. When using the open source stack I believe the amdgpu and modesetting drivers will give similar results; I believe we are recommending amdgpu but a lot of distros still use modestting. They both use glamor for 2D acceleration on GCN hardware.

The most famous beer here is Tsingtao Beer

I had a Bananenweizen before and it was nasty, but I think that's cause it was paired with blotwurst...... Waldmeister Beliner Weisse is tastier IMO.

Blutwurst is something I'm definitely never going to eat! Ever!
But the same goes to Stippgrütze or Wurstebrei. I've eaten it in the past, but it's definitely nothing I'm going to eat again even if it's kind of a must growing up in Ostwestfalen. ;-)
