Radeon users and Ubuntu 16.04

Looks like Ubuntu hates anyone with a AMD card…

Those of you on Radeon device should be aware that the standard AMD driver is NOT SUPPORTED in 16.04 at this time. A future point release is expected to bring support for the new AMDGPU driver. Expect a regression in system performance if you upgrade.

There’ll be a PPA for that in 5… 4… 3…

tl; dr – if you don’t like PPAs, don’t upgrade to 16.04 until 16.10 (and therefore 16.04.1) is out.

The version of Xorg shipped with Ubuntu 16.04 is not compatible with the latest version of fglrx. It seems like AMD abandoned all support for fglrx the moment they shipped the AMDGPU driver.
