I gave up on AMD under Linux 15 years ago when I could not use my newly purchased card to accelerate graphics because it was _just_ PCI and not AGP (lol remember AGP!). This was really more of a Linux limitation than AMD, but still I was bummed. I have had better luck with Nvidia over the years, but hardly smooth sailing until the last few. These days my 2 (3?) year old GTX 980 can power 3 monitors at 1080p each for multi-monitor gaming with Steam under Linux (Debian unstable) surprisingly well.
I had to give up Linux because the drivers for my printer were only commercially available for more than the cost of Windows. So I bought Windows for the free printer drivers.
