Well Crap…
I’m looking at Linux as my main OS, specifically openSUSE. Most distros are running Linux 4.4 LTS kernel. There are so many improvements since then that I would love to run newer kernel. I tried the openSUSE rolling release called openSUSE Tumbleweed. It was running 4.8.6 I believe. I ran into a showstopper bug that involved my AMD Radeon RX 480 that is present in kernels beyond 4.4. Kinda sucks but openSUSE Leap 42.2 will be released on November 16. It is using the LTS 4.4 kernel so I will give that a shot. Or, I may try this if I have time.

    Eric,
    Which RX 480 did you get? How do you like it?

      It is fine under Windows. We will see about openSUSE Leap 42.2 tomorrow.

    Thank you. Hopefully it works out well under the new openSUSE. The AMD GPUPro driver project may be an alternative if not. I’ve heard good things about it but have never actually used it. If I do, I’ll let you know how the experiment turns out.
