@so1dieroffortune Blame AMD, it's their closed source drivers that don't work. AMD does not support kernels greater than 3.19 as shown in their 15.9 release notes here http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86. The 4.0 kernel was released on April 12th, 2015 which is plenty of time for AMD to update their drivers. There's not way that AMD needs more than 6 months to make their drivers compatible with the 4.0 kernels. In fact, I would estimate that one of their engineers could make the compatibility fixes in less than week.
