Summary: "With Ubuntu dropping support for the AMD fglrx/Catalyst driver

in their upcoming 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" release and manually

installing the driver doesn't sound like an option, many have renewed

interest in how the open-source Radeon driver stack is performing for

Ubuntu 16.04 that's due out next month. In this article are benchmarks

comparing the performance of Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (on both the open and

closed drivers) to that of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with the sole AMD Linux

driver option on a variety of graphics cards."
