Amen, amen, amen.
I have an HD 7880 in my Linux box, and it works very well with Catalyst.
The drivers have made some real strides lately, and I bet all the issues in the Phoronix article are addressed in the next release.
I'm planning to move to systemd as soon as possible. Off Ubuntu and back to Fedora for me.
Why? Because it is clearly the right way ahead, and I'd rather learn its nuances sooner than later.
And it *has* to be better than the steaming pile of shit that Ubuntu has become.
The only real problem with systemd is the massive whinefest from the self-selected dinosaurs who cannot adopt to badly needed change.
Off to BSD with you all, with my heartfelt blessing - just for the love of Lob, be quiet about it!
