Sounds to me like Linux is suffering.

>using Linoox unironically

Sounds like a big company failure to me.

>using the proprietary drivers on amd
you fucked up

all your fault faggot

Your brain is suffering.

Fglrx is ATI legacy software, amd doesn't ever care about Linux for desktop usage

>actually installed Linux

We got another one, boys!

>>53751803
>>install AMD proprietary driver for Linux (fglrx)
found your problem.
Run the free one.
It's almost as fast and actually works right.

>It's almost as fast

Nope.

R9 280X is 'radeon,' not 'amdgpu.'

It's slow as shit.

AMD drivers have been a bit sucky on linux for a while.

It isn't I'm running evergreen since radeon got born from ATI's corpse and it's the most hassle free GPU experience I ever had on linux.

Try running _any_ benchmark on it.

Then try the benchmark on fglrx.

I don't care about artificial performance, what counts is usability and doing what i want. Guess what, my mouse cursor doesn't lag behind dragging windows, my animations don't have micro stutter that makes them jarring, everything is as smooth as on windows. The only thing different is that firefox is even smoother than on any other operating system. Every game that i wanted to play runs just fine, provided it's an actual port or has good wine compatibility. WHAT more could one possibly want?
Protip: not everyone masturbates to rigged numbers on flawed benchmarks.
