Congratulations superm1 and thanks for your work at Dell. I definitely appreciated your contributions to the kernel and fwupd, and it looks like you haven't skipped at beat moving over to AMD.

Maybe he will create that graphics control panel that so many of us need and desire because AMD wants to respond to customer demand.

Yeah, maybe not. But one can hope.

Appreciate the clarification. Sounds like a good guy and a decent man. I take back what I said.

On top of that the AMD control panel on Windows uses Qt (with a custom skin), which means it should be easy to port it to Linux instead of creating a new one...
