AMD has the worst open source drivers for Linux. Pretty sure Ryzen APUs still aren't even properly supported. I would love to use AMD on everything, truly would. They are the best for a tight budget but the support just isn't there.

I'm using first gen ryzen with an RX560 with different Linux distros (Ubuntu, arch and void) and it works great. Especially for compiling and gaming.

I'm talking about the APUs using integrated graphics. If you are using an APU with a discrete graphics card you defeat the purpose of buying an APU.

You seem to life in an alternative universe than me.

Worst Open Source driver? In my universe that might be lima (no offense to the devs, I think freedreno, etnaviv and videocore drivers are a bit better and I don't think there is a PowerVR open source driver yet)
