A comment on AMD's Hidden Strategy.

Can anyone comment on mainline kernel drivers for an entire AMD based laptop? For example if you get a Thinkpad you get Intel CPU and GPU, but other parts like wifi and bluetooth are Intel too. All of these are covered by mainstream Linux kernel drivers.

(I'm thinking of years past when Broadcom wifi etc were a problem under Linux.)

I have a Kaveri era HP laptop (read: old). No issues with wifi. Fairly sure it had an Atheros chip which has amazing Linux support.
