@rich-ayotte I don't think it's fair to "blame AMD". They suck, but the question is what does Canonical do about the non-working AMD drivers? Canonical should detect the fact that the drivers don't work and do one of 2 things:
1) Postpone the release, or 2) When doing an upgrade - prompt a human being with a warning sign: "If you proceed with this upgrade your PC will not work since AMD binary drivers are known to be broken" Whatever happened with the "Linux for human beings" slogan? Either you say "Blame AMD" or "Linux for Human Beings". You can't have it both ways. A Human being couldn't care less about which nerdy engineer made their PC unusable. What they do know however, is that Canonical decided to break their computer and NOT so by mistake since it was 100% known to Canonical that that the PC would break on the upgrade and they did nothing about it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493888 Title: FGLRX incompatible with kernel 4.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1493888/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
