From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

And in addition to that, it's the only thing that breaks on my system that isn't my fault.
My next GPU will definitely be AMD unless Intel catches up very quickly.
My embedded AMD GPU has been unusable under Ubuntu. Constant crashes/freezes. When trying to find a workaround (unsuccessfully), I found lots of other people with slight variations of the same problem - same symptoms, but different root causes... seems like at any time there are several system-breaking bugs and every time one is removed another is introduced. You just have to hope your kernel happens to be one that happens to work with your specific config.
My next platform will be Intel-based.
Just ubuntu or AMD APUs in general?
It works on Windows, no idea how other distros behave but judging by all the issues people were reporting, even if this specific issue doesn't happen on other distros, you'll get bitten by something else.
