We’re now at a point where transitioning fully to the open-source GPU kernel modules is the right move, and we’re making that change in the upcoming R560 driver release.

Ah ok, so it’s just the kernel part that they’re open sourcing, but a proprietary driver will still need to be installed just as before. I knew there had to be a catch.

I guess it’s nice that this would help with kernel issues, like graphics breaking when you install a new kernel. But still not quite what I was hoping for.
