So finally I'm happy Aspire clarified the situation. (Edit: Oh they didn't, thanks to Pierre-Loup Griffais instead.) The communication before was kind of not optimal.
For the future I would recommend Aspire to test with the MESA stable and Padoka PPA writing the supported version under the specs, just like Feral does. The specs stay very long and many people frequently write that they are unsure to buy games because they have an AMD GPU. Although pretty much all of them work flawlessly now. So recommending a version that will be released very soon is likely better for everyone than dropping the whole support officially.Last edited by oooverclocker; 07 February 2017, 02:49 PM.

If so, it would be pretty stupid. They should test with latest release of Mesa, and with latest Mesa master. And if something still doesn't work - report bugs to Mesa. That's a responsible thing to do.

Should? That's exactly what they shouldn't test because no distro comes with those. Sure, as hobbyists, to us looks like the first choice (that's why we add PPAs and whatnot). But for a company that's expected to offer support? Not gonna happen.

Just look at the people here. Many of us had issues with games in the past and we were patient enough for them to get solved and some tried constructively to commit the information that were necessary to fix things instead of complaining. That's because when you're a Linux user you are aware of the fact that RadeonSI hasn't been OpenGL 4.5 compliant in the last year.
And we can also behave the same for the time that it takes to improve the performance now that the features are implemented.Last edited by oooverclocker; 07 February 2017, 04:32 PM.
