It's depressing to hear that devs are using Intel-only systems and not
a single AMD one.
Really.

I thought Linux supporters were among the most conscious wrt diversity

(btw: AMD E2 APU here, also an old Opteron, but both systems have
their own OSs and I'm not sure I have space or extra HDDs to attempt a
fresh install ATM. I will however attempt to test, is it required to
install? or just booting from LiveCD would trigger it?)
