R7 260X reclocking issues... isn't that what the new microcode in the linux-firmware is supposed to fix, along with some others? It's neither in oibaf's PPA nor pushed to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as an update, so I assume that's responsible for some of the AMD bugs.

There are known hangs with kernel 3.15 on Sea Islands (confirmed on Bonaire, not sure about the other chips). A workaround is also known. We won't probably have a fix in time for 3.15 final, so hopefully it will be in the next bugfix release (3.15.1 ?).
Kernel 3.14 works fine.

I think u do just something wrong, maybe I am wrong and 99-100% of the bugs would happen in lets say fedora rawhide too.
But I would never install ubuntu if I want to test free glx-drivers.
Ubuntus main advantage over something like fedora (for others its a disadvantage) is their commitment to non-free drivers to make it as easy as possible to install them.
And then u use a absolut non official ppa replacing some stuff.
Why not just try then if something like that happens, a fedora rawhide? its a distro where many developers from the free drivers work as major distro or package directly for it. or use ubuntu if needed and compile it yourself.
Its not convinient I know, but why test it then in the first place if most of your audience will not install your setup too?
I would never install fedora to test proprietary drivers, and the same is true about ubuntu and free drivers. Except I want to test how well ubuntu works specificly but want to test the drivers right?

2. Michael is not a German
3. That link is a search request that lists the articles found (below "Tesseract Linux News") and is not a link to a single article
