gollark: English lessons, yes. Physics lessons, yes. Just not Spanish.
gollark: So yes, viable. Plus AMD has better Linux driver support.
gollark: And Intel's entering the market next year, which is good.
gollark: Polaris (RX 560, 570, 580, 590) and Navi (RX 5700 (XT), more coming soon\™) are perfectly competitive.
