Yes, I know, but I've reached the point where I just want stuff to work, rather than spending hours tweaking it. The days I used to spend post-clean-install tweaking dozens of settings have gone (even for Windows, although with Windows the post-install ritual was more surrounding drivers). Largely, I admit, because I spend more and more time in the commandline, so as long as that is how I like it, I'm sorted. Basically, the more I have to worry about the OS, the less time I spend working.
I never said they're not supporting AMD at all, I said they're not supporting the binary blob driver. Open source AMD drivers are still welcome.
So no openCL? edit: As I said, I've not used SuSE for a long time - probably over a decade now, and the last AMD/ATi card I had was a 4870X2 (although I have got a 6970 I tested out for a while which I got as a hand-me-down...) sadly, CUDA has become a deciding factor in my GPU purchases.
If you install Ubuntu (any flavour, I happened to be using Xubuntu at the time) and install the ubuntu-gnome-desktop package through apt, on your login screen one of the options will be to run Gnome on Wayland. there's a few caveats - I couldn't run gparted on Wayland - I had to log out and switch back to normal Gnome. Regarding Ubuntu Mate vs Linux Mint Mate, do the Mint team still recommend a full re-installation when moving versions? I've had no problems at all moving between versions on Xubuntu using do-release-upgrade, and TBH, I think that's been my main reason for sticking with Ubuntu over Mint.
