AMD Is Currently Hiring More Linux Engineers

Honest answer: medical imaging. If your data doesn't fit into ram, it's a right royal pain in the arse, and being able to do linear algebra on huge, 14-dimensional datasets and seeing if the final result actually looks like the inside of a person in real time as you fiddle with the code is a huge plus.

And yes, Gnome is still sometimes completely unresponsive...

Very cool. Is it all CPU-based or can you leverage GPGPU for that? My linear algebra is admittedly a bit rusty, but I would have imagined that GPUs would do very well in applications like that.

For me everything became much more responsive when I switched to KDE. It seems like GNOME doesn't play well with Linux buggy graphics driver.
