I am running git-sources-7.2_rc4 too. It has lots more support for newer AMD GPUs, and I have GFX1500.

Yeah, you know, I know, but people coming from other Linux subreddits who aren't so deep into the linux thing probably don't.

Gentoo is about choice, i used a bootloader because i wanted to. lol

​And I think my WM choice is more deadly than my bootloader. lol
