Agreed. I have an RX 480 now but I had a 4670 before that. The |
| 22 |
proprietary drivers brought me nothing but pain while Mesa was very |
| 23 |
capable. The main problem with the proprietary drivers is they're tied |
| 24 |
to older kernels and xorg-server versions and this can't always be |
| 25 |
patched around. |
