.... but it looks like I am distro shopping again to find something where the drivers work right...
what distro did you settle on?
Kind of liking Manjaro right now, it is an Arch variant, not quite as hard nosed as the main Arch, more GUI tools and whatnot so nice for novices like me.
The one that rejected the AMD drivers was MX, which is based on the Ubuntu codebase and repos but with the light weight xfce desktop . I am done with Canonical after the Unity episode, but having your system based on their code is nice because there are a lot of helpful forum posts to search out when you get stuck. I may actually try that on the main battlestation (1080ti driving 5760x1080) and see if nVidia drivers up on it.
I will tell you this, Armory is a hell of a lot more stable on linux. I haven't had to rebuild the database once despite breaking the system repeatedly. Seemed like on windows every system hang would fubar ArmoryDB.
I would urge all of you to make this leap; if you are ready to take responsibility for your money, you should be ready to take responsibility for your OS.
