   AMD could be hell ages ago; I don't remember the details, but they   
   stopped supporting certain range of cards, and the Linux own support was   
   primitive. Then one day AMD decided to do something in the line of   
   opening up their drivers or specs or both (again, I don't remember the   
   details). The thing is, that now their cards work very well out of the   
   box. The situation should be similar to Intel graphics, but Intel   
   neglects to solve bugs. I have a light machine and two laptops with   
   Intel graphics, and all have one problem or another.
