Also glew reports us that this extension is not available.

Well, the main problem is Steam runtime's retarded bundling of libstdc++. It works well if you run Steam on anything older than the Ubuntu version they target but if your libstdc++ is too new, tough luck. Debian stable + nVidia proprietary driver fits current Steam deployment scheme the best, probably

In many cases, FGLRX is still faster and also supports OpenGL 4.5. In my experience, FGLRX is also more stable than R600 with some games. Games like Saints Row 4 will cause R600 git w/ OGL 4.1 support to hard lock the system and often with strange screen artifacts while it runs okay with FGLRX.
why are you people complaining? you'll be able to install fglrx just fine...

I am sure someone will package fglrx anyway in an external PPA for those who need it. Still a strange decision, even though if you plan on playing games on Linux you should switch to Nvidia, AMD drivers dont give good performance in comparison at all. Maybe if the users yell loud enough they will return fglrx once it supports X.org 1.18 that is in Xenial Xerus.

open source performance are far far beyond the amd crimson . why not let the user choose in the installation if he want amd crimson or open source driver?? that the best solution !!!! extremely poor ergonomics
