For me, too ... Most of the time :-)

But I can relate why setting up can be "too much" for new-comers. ATM 
have machines, which are using the nouveau drivers, while I also have 
others which are using the proprietary nvidia-drivers.

I don't know - I haven't had an AMD/Radeon card for years.

One exception is my home-office-server, which is equipped w/ an older 
on-board Radeon GPU, on which xorg's "Radeon" driver works sufficiently 
well out-of-the-box for "occasional use on a server".

Sorry, but I actually can't provide you with much help, here.
