The future of Wayland, and Sway's role in it

I got a Fury to try to show support during the initial releases of AMDGPU. I'm not sure if they noticed but it gave me a good reason to ditch my gtx 770 :D

AMDGPU is really good now, and the parts that are proprietary (AMDGPU Pro) are eventually (hopefully) going to be folded into the FOSS side soon.

AMDGPU Pro is actually built on top of the open source driver, so if AMD wants and can commit its features into the open source driver it shouldn't be that hard. I don't know why they decided to build the proprietary interface if AMDGPU was working so well, maybe 3rd party licensed code?

I believe it does have to do with 3rd party licensing. Last time I checked the freesync portion of the driver was only in AMDGPU-Pro, which is what I'm looking forward to the most.
