AMD's Crimson Radeon Driver For Linux Barely Changes Anything (phoronix.com)
An anonymous reader writes: AMD Windows customers were greeted this week to the new "Crimson" Radeon Software that brought many bug fixes, performance improvements, and brand new control panel. While AMD also released this Crimson driver for Linux, it really doesn't change much. The control panel is unchanged except for replacing "Catalyst" strings with "Radeon" and there's been no performance changes but just some isolated slowdowns. The Crimson Linux release notes only mention two changes: a fix for glxgears stuttering and mouse cursor corruption.
If you call having such bad Linux gaming performance that you would have to buy a card nearly twice the price to equal the same framerate as Windows " treating Linux users just fine"? Then I guess so, I personally wouldn't be too happy if I was a Linux user.
