Current verdict on Linux on the 2015 Retina iMac 27": - Everything is tiny - amdgpu does not work but radeon does - BT needs a USB reset to work - No audio yet - TB2 works - Desktop is smooth - Even radeon is way better than the Ivy Bridge Intel crap I've been living with for 8y

Seriously, it feels like a new computer just because the GPU and, more importantly, the drivers aren't garbage. This is the first time I've had tearing-free (composited!) video on my main workstation in half a decade. Intel used to be good but they really dropped the ball.

Yeah, the experience of a (desktop) RX460 totally blows away my Haswell laptop. Maybe tiger lake will fix? One thing to watch for is sometimes on X11 with an unredirected fullscreen window and crusty X11 APIs you can still get tearing. TearFree will fix this in the xorg config.
