Hi guys, thank you very much for another great release.
I couldn't find any mention of the upstream issues with AMD/ATI and the 16.04 LTS... Does this version of LL still have those?
Thanks very much!
ATTENTION ALL WHO UPGRADED:
There was a bug in Lite Upgrade. This is now fixed. Please run:
Menu, Favorites, Install Updates
Menu, Settings, Lite Upgrade
I know this is pain for some to run this again, but if I don't fix this properly now, we will have this bug every upgrade.

That answers my question I was about to ask because I did it before reading this. No problem, just had to set the LL widget to autostart and reposition it with Conky manager.

I have never had any problems but I am using ADM Radeon HD (integrated).

Thank you very much for your answer!!
Yeah, I'm going to try it regardless of the AMD CPU.
I'm so glad I'm back to LL!
Cheers!
Quote:Canonical will not be supporting the fglrx/Catalyst Linux driver in their archive beginning with Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus. There's nothing stopping anyone from downloading the latest release from AMD.com and installing the driver directly or generating the Debian packages from that -- assuming upstream Linux kernel and xorg-server compatibility -- but it's not being supported by upstream Ubuntu.
For most users, the open-source Radeon graphics stack is "good enough" particularly if you just care about desktop use-cases, video playback, and light gaming. However, currently the open-source Radeon Linux graphics stack only supports OpenGL 4.1 rather than OpenGL 4.5, the open-source OpenCL compute stack leaves a lot to be desired, and there are other current open-source AMD driver limitations that for some users will make switching to the open-source driver a regression in experience and performance.
For those who like to risk breaking their system -

Well, I understood "For most users, the open-source Radeon graphics stack is "good enough" particularly if you just care about desktop use-cases, video playback, and light gaming." I am clueless about that open stack stuff. :
Hopefully, that will not be a problem using Linux Lite.
As the Spanish say..."no problemo"
