On a laptop, I have had better luck with Nvidia. AMD will just draw a line in the sand and stop producing drivers for all video cards before model X (recall the fglrx debacle on 10/2008?)
No, that's just not true. AMD has been seeding actively feeding community driver program amdgpu and the older radeon cards are fully supported via the community drivers with back-door help from AMD. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd-opensource-10&num=1 Suse was instrumental in getting them started on this approach. You are hard pressed to find any model of ATI/AMD card that has been totally abandoned. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done.
