Yes. 

OSX is really the only OS who is sometimes annoying with your hardware :P

I've had issues installing linux distros presumeably because of my crossfirex setup. That's the main reason I don't have a HDD with a linux distro installed on this machine yet... I'm not willing to strip hardware out just to get Linux on this machine tho, atleast not before AMD drivers get major improvements. Been thinking of upgrading to a highend single GPU at some point but got to see how DX 12 support plays out as I seem to be/ close to being CPU bottlenecked in most games I play (DayZ mod, Arma 3...) .
