Hi all
I'm looking to move from windows to Ubuntu and from everything I've read it seems my graphics card may cause an issue for me. AMD no longer supports it and hasnt for years so it falls under their legacy drivers.
From some google searching I could probably get it run 2D but not 3D.
I do a lot of 3D work on my system (models, animation etc) so really need full 3D on my system.
The same google searches show that full support would be available but only on Ubuntu 8.10 or older. Being that we are currently on 12.10 is it really worth installing such and old version or should I just stick with windows?
If anyone knows of any more recent version that will work for me please let me know. Ubuntu is simply the one I'm farmiliar with but anything that works will do.
Thanks
Chris
