Also GPU-as-a-service seems to be a growth market, and Linux is usually the first choice in X-as-a-service.

That's what's frustrating to me. I have an AMD R9 290 and an Intel integrated GPU. I want to use them together for GPGPU stuff (simulating dybamical systems), but the driver situation has consistently been kindof a mess. I get it working and then all the sudden things shift and I have to configure again... Reminds me of the good old days of configuring xorg.conf in 2004.

if you're still using fglrx, configuring xorg.conf is still a part of your life.
the sooner fglrx dies, the better off the planet will be.
This is not true for the animation/CGI/effects industry where Linux not only looms large but is growing.
I'm also sceptical of Linux having a small share of big data/machine learning since this is adjacent to servers where Linux dominates- would you mind sharing your sources? Nvidia's CUDA is cross-platform, this sets a baseline for whatever response AMD is planning.
