Me too. It seems like AMD is really trying to do well by the open source community. I do realize that this isn't out of the kindness of their heart, but rather the fact that they're the underdog, but still, it's good for the community. I really think things are going to turn in their favor within the next 2 years (at least in the graphical side of things). Every single one of the major game consoles are using AMD chips, and consoles are usually first priority for game developers. I am guessing this could have some advantages when it comes time to do a PC port. Also, with the new APIs such as Vulkan and DX12, the amount of optimization "games" you can play inside the driver is reduced since they are apparently much closer to the hardware. This could wash away some of the lead that NVidia has (as is proven by many recent DX12 benchmarks). Finally, I think the recent rise in popularity of Apple computers (last 5 years or so) could be a good thing for Linux gaming since they will both rely on the Vulkan/OpenGL APIs which could give more incentive for developers to do the port.
