I'd rather have my system to just work. Adding PPA takes no effort, setting up
something like Arch or compiling Mesa does and I have no time to deal with it.
Some of Linux users (I assume mostly those on *buntu distros) are not
developers, sysadmins or kernel hackers, we got other jobs and things to do,
but we like open source solutions and other benefits of Linux world. I suppose
I should just change my GPU to Nvidia and stop giving a fuck, but I prefer open
source solutions and AMD is the only choice when it comes to high performance
foss drivers.

I'm not bitching or whining here, just clarifying few facts.

I can reports bugs, provide logs, test some PPAs, but please don't patronize me
with your linux hacker attitude, I'm not one of You, I'm just a user with
different job description who happens to like open source for various reason
(messing with code is not one of them).
