If anyone here knows how to get and AMD GPU on Linux working and would be willing to help me set up Linux on this computer i would much appreciate it. pm me on the forum if your willing to help me this nightmare of getting it set up.

Fedora or Centos or Open Suse AMD has drivers for all those versions. They are also the best distros IMO ubuntu sux

It really depends on what distro you choose to install and what DE (desktop enviroment) you will be using. If you could tell us a little bit more about what distro you will be installing i might be able to guide you through the entire process of installing the AMD drivers.

 

EDIT:

What card do you have?
