I tried a Gigabyte RX580 & RX560. The screen looks great but games and videos are a mess! AMD/ATI makes drivers for the cards but they make it even worse! If you're not going to be watching movies or playing games you are fine with the stock "Mesa" drivers installed on a Ubuntu/Xubuntu install. If you try to play any game or watch netflix you are going to be in LAG FRAME RATE HELL!What sucks for me I just got rid of all my best Nvidia cards. :( The system, videos, games all run fine on a little EVGA GTX 1050 SC 2 gigs. :( Pop in a 4 gig RX 560 or a 8 gig RX 580 and it runs horrible. And runs even worse once you install the AMDGPU Pro drivers.I tried Xubuntu 16.04.2 which I use with an EVGA RTX 2080 TI Ultra XC! Some people believe it's the older version on Xubuntu/Ubuntu that is the problem. It doesn't support NEW VIDEO CARDS... less
