I am a "regular" Debian user - not a developer.  If Debian makes any attempt to 
move in the direction of the amount of hand-holding Ubuntu does, I am throwing 
my laptop out the window and going to live in the woods to eat berries and 
learn spear fishing or some shite.  I do not need a 6 month bug cycle with 
patches applied on top of patches.  I want the solid stable Debian system I 
have been using for over ten years that I have total control over and can fix 
with simple instructions like those provided for this AMD graphics issue.  
There are two other mainstream OS's out there specifically designed for people 
who don't want to learn how a computer works, and there is Ubunutu for the 
rest.  Please leave Debian the way it is in this regard so that I can continue 
to have the joy of learning more about how my system works when minor issues 
like this come up.  Thanks for listening and thank you very much for the work 
you all do.

Very Best!

Jason
