Actually, I had the best experience using AMD hardware. Even on an old laptop which I-don't-remember-the-reference of the APU (GPU + CPU) I have been able to successfully install the non-free driver and the administration panel to be able to tweak the settings without too much hassle back then.
The worst case I had was with another laptop shipping NVIDIA + Intel and the so called Optimus technology. I now understand the hate that Linus has toward NVIDIA. This was really the only hard time I had with drivers. Since then I only bought AMD hardware for my PC and decided not to play on any laptop anymore to ease the installation of GNU/Linux on some of my laptops.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our experiences!
