    On a side-note, old GPU box artwork was a wild genre

      Totally, and this one isn’t even from the truly unhinged era of the ‘90s and early 2000s.

        This might have been the end of it actually. I don’t remember seeing that stuff when the R9 series started.

    This title is not accurate. The GPUs worked on Linux already, but only with AMD’s old proprietary RADEON driver. The news is that they are now supported by the Free Software AMDGPU driver.

      The radeon driver wasn’t proprietary, just old and superseded by AMDGPU. AMD’s old proprietary driver was fglrx.
